I want to install packages for offline ubuntu16.04. I zipped all the .deb file in /var/cache/apt/archives in another machine which can access the internet. When I use dpkg -i libboost-all-dev_1.58.0.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb to install the package, I got permission denied eorror.

dpkg:error processing archive libboost-all-dev_1.58.0.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb(--install):
cannot access archive: Permission denied

I have used chmod -R 777 ./ to change the authority. It doesn't work.

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root Aug 13 16:58 libboost-all-dev_1.58.0.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb

I faced this same issue, and the fix was to make the current directory executable to all:

chmod a+x .

    Which directory did you mean by "current directory"?
