I have come across several installation instructions that include the command deb. But it appears that this command is not available on my installation.
Where can I get this command? Is there a work-around?
There are now errors when updating and I cannot install most software due to a corrupted
/etc/apt/sources.list
file. Is there a copy I can download to replace it?
The file would be for Ubuntu 12.04 (Final Beta) in the United States.
I want to setup a new virtual machine with some specified packages (name and version), that are provided.
For example apache2 in version 2.2.20-1ubuntu1 with all dependencies. Even if there is a new version of this package on the servers this one should be installed.
The solution has to work/scale with multiple (n) "setups". Another virtual machine might need an older version of apache2.
I currently know of some possibilities that install the exact packages, but do not scale that good:
- Copy all required
*.debto every virtual machine manually and enter:dpkg -i... -> Could work, but it is very error prone. (Manual scripts etc.) - Create and use a new Ubuntu repository for each setup. -> Does not work because I would need n repositories.
- Setup the machine once and copy the VM / create a snapshot. -> Does not work because I would need to store n VMs.
My problem could be labeled as patch management, but I do not want to update my packages to the current version. My goal is to install old packages.
Please let me know how to remove certain repositories in Ubuntu 11.04. I am getting the following errors while updating.
sudo apt-get update
Err http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main Sources
404 Not Found
Err http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main i386 Packages
404 Not Found
......
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Is there a method or command which can tell from which repository a package is coming from?
