hi lugs


aim using Ubuntu lts 12.04 how to update apt by local i have coped all repo
in drive can any one post command to execute

the local repo location /media/soft
.


Move all the package which you have to the location
/var/cache/apt/archives

/var/cache/apt/archives$ ls
firefox_14.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1_amd64.deb
libqt4-sql-mysql_4%3a4.6.2-0ubuntu5.4_amd64.deb
openoffice.org-calc_1%3a3.2.0-7ubuntu4.3_amd64.deb
firefox-branding_14.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1_amd64.deb
libqt4-svg_4%3a4.6.2-0ubuntu5.4_amd64.deb

Try to run

apt-get upgrade

That should work.

Other than copying deb files you are supposed to copy the repository
info - without this apt will not know about the latest version of
packages and may try to download the version available in it's
repository. I have created an application that does this job.

You can visit https://launchpad.net/share-ubuntu-updates to get more
info. The code provides the necessary info. It's a simple Qt
application that does the job for you.

Hope this helps,
PrasannaKumar Muralidharan
