Hello, I am forwarding an email from Gottfried to trisquel-users mailing
list as per his personal request.

I wish the Trisquel web forum and mailing list issues can be resolved soon.

And I wish Gottfried's questions can be answered as well.

Sincerely yours,

Malsasa

please forward it to the Trisquel users website

this would be the title of the question and the first sentence in the mail:
Answer to Re 3: repository download again - how to install offline

https://trisquel.info/de/forum/re-3-repository-download-again-how-install-offline

"The error is because you are missing the Type:deb line."

What do I have to add in the file: trisquel.sources?

I have got:
Types: deb deb-src

When I add:
deb deb-src deb line (or deb-line)
bash: deb (deb-line) is unknown

I need a type which opens the packed packages
------------------------------

$ sudo apt install emacs
bash: install: cannot stat 'emacs': No such file or directory

It looks for a file or directory but there are only packed packages
which have to be unpacked in order to be installed.

Maintainers and others surely know what happens if somebody installs
some packages from the Internet.
There has to be a procedure which looks for the packages, unpacks them
and takes it and installs it.

If this procedure is not included in the "trisquel.sources" file
then it is impossible to install something offline.

I am sure there is a solution.
But I don´t know.

thanks

Gottfried

If /media/alle/25324e35-5a58-4712-8e36-c5f612436cb3/RepositoryTrisquel/ is where you downloaded the whole repository, I believe /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trisquel.sources should be:
Enabled: yes
Types: deb deb-src
URIs: file:/media/alle/25324e35-5a58-4712-8e36-c5f612436cb3/RepositoryTrisquel/

I have checked that in my "trisquel.sources" and changed everything
according that:

----------------
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/trisquel.sources:

URIs:
file:/media/alle/25324e35-5a58-4712-8e36-c5f612436cb3/RepositoryTrisquel/

here is my Repository on the external harddisk:

alle@Sony:/media/alle/25324e35-5a58-4712-8e36-c5f612436cb3/RepositoryTrisquel$
ls
bandwith-day.png meta-release-development pool
bandwith-week.png meta-release-lts README.html
canary meta-release-lts-development speedtest
dists Mirrors.masterlist
trisquel-archive-signkey.gpg
meta-release Mirrors.masterlist.inactive

$ sudo apt install emacs
bash: error: package emacs cannot be found

installation fails because package cannot be found.

I don´t know why it cannot be found, because the path seems to be right.

thanks for help

Gottfried
