Setup
I have 3 VMs, each running 12.04:
VM0: hosts a debmirror-built, partial ubuntu repository. VM1 & VM2 want to use that to install packages.
I've renamed /etc/apt/sources.list -> /etc/apt/sources.list.dis
so that it's not picked up (and I don't see the VMs hitting the standard ubuntu archives during apt-get update), and both VMs have identical identical sources.list configs (1 file in sources.list.d/foo.list
)
The problem
On one VM, I can install apache2
from my ubuntu mirror just fine, but not on the other. Is there any stale apt-get state that I need get rid of?
foo.list
:
deb http://my-mirror.com/repository/ubuntu/ precise main universe multiverse restricted
deb http://my-mirror.com/repository/ubuntu/ precise-security main universe multiverse restricted
deb http://my-mirror.com/repository/ubuntu/ precise-updates main universe multiverse restricted
Before trying to install apache2 on both VMs, I ran: sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt
and sudo apt-get update
VM1 works fine:
me@vm1-172-16-2-18:~$ sudo apt-get install apache2

E: Package 'apache2' has no installation candidate
me@vm2-172-16-2-17:~$
apt-get update
didn't report any errors.
How can I troubleshoot this issue?
Things I've established so far:
- Clearly the repository is working, since 1 VM can install from it, so I think it must be something to do with apt-get on the 2nd VM but I really couldn't tell what.
- The networking is also the same for both VMs.
- I can curl the repository URL just fine, so I don't think it's a firewall issue.
Here's also the output of apt-get update
from the broken VM:
me@vm2-172-16-2-17:~$ sudo apt-get update
