i have an ubuntu with three virtual machines running inside running ubuntu also i update the host using apt-get update but i can update VM's, it takes a long time + uses a lot of bandwith which i'm running out of,i want to transfer the updated files by apt-get to VMs, could you please tell me where are they? i'm not talking about the packages themselves stored in /var/cache/apt/archives, i want the file that stores list of available packages on mirror i have selected, thanks lot ps: i know this question has been asked somewhere but i cant find it!
