apt-get not recognizing downloaded archives
- by meteors
I installed Ubuntu Gnome 13.10. I previously had Ubuntu Gnome 13.04 and had all the archives in the /var/cache/apt/archives/ stored to a removable disk. After installing 13.10 I copied all my archives to the above mentioned path. When I run apt-get install it tries to fetch the archives
although I have the archives.
Also if instead of apt-get install if I try to install individual .deb files using dpkg -i everything runs fine. These are the permissions of files:
How do I fix this. Previously copying archives like this worked fine and downloading duplicates the files.
