[School-GNU-Linux] Re: Privileges - HOW TO

Quoting Vimal Joseph <vimaljoseph@xxxxxxxxx>:

You need the Packages and/or Packages.gz file  for apt to update the
/var/lib/dpkg/available file.  But that is not copied to the
root/desktop directory (as seen from the message).
Create one using the dpkg-scanpackages
utility after copying and proceed with apt-get update.

please help for pen drive installation of itexam
what i done that
i just copy itexam-debs from cd and copy to root desktop
root terminal
gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
deb file:///root/desktop/itexam-debs ./


The mistake is in the deb line..
you have to add:

deb  file:///root/Desktop/itexam-debs/  ./

(if you put the folder itexam-debs in the Desktop of root's home directory.)
