[ubuntu-in] Setting up local apt-get repository ? Error

[Anoop John]

If you are looking to set up a local repository for an intranet you
can try out apt-cacher which I think can do what you want it to do.

But if it just on a local machine can't you just add the directory to
the list of repositories. I think apt-get has an option to do that.
