I noted that apt-mirror does not copy the full repository. I would like to make it copy all of it. Any I idea how that can be done?

This is what is on the server for Xenial/Main

[DIR]   binary-amd64/   2016-04-21 19:39    -    
[DIR]   binary-i386/    2016-04-21 19:39    -    
[DIR]   debian-installer/   2015-12-02 22:22    -    
[DIR]   dep11/  2016-04-21 13:13    -    
[DIR]   dist-upgrader-all/  2016-04-16 18:13    -    
[DIR]   i18n/   2016-04-21 19:39    -    
[DIR]   installer-amd64/    2017-12-01 16:17    -    
[DIR]   installer-i386/ 2017-12-01 16:17    -    
[DIR]   source/ 2016-04-21 19:39    -    
[DIR]   uefi/   2015-11-02 23:53    -

This is what I got

[DIR]   binary-amd64/   2016-04-21 19:39    -    
[DIR]   binary-i386/    2016-04-21 19:39    -    
[DIR]   dep11/  2016-04-21 13:13    -    
[DIR]   i18n/   2016-04-21 19:39    -    
[DIR]   source/ 2016-04-21 19:39    -

Edit: one thing I already found out. To include the debian-installer/ section, add in the mirror.list file

 deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubunut xenial main main/debian-installer restricted restricted/debian-installer universe multiverse

This works because apt-mirror finds a packages.gz file there. With other folders this does not work, e.g. installer-amd64.

  • Did you ever find how to solve this? I have been having the same issue with Kali repos stackoverflow.com/questions/51596514/…

  • @Kryptos no. Just the described workaround for that single case worked.

  • Can you please descrb what the difference is. It looks like you added combinations of universe/multiverse/etc to the /debian-installer branch. My initial issue was that there are other items beside the debian-installer in the repository that I did not want to exlicitly list but still mirror. Maybe I misunderstood you answer

  • Honestly I can't describe this. I am new into this, and what I found out was that I also didn't had the full repo. This was an issue for my debian installer, and after adding this it was solved and the debian installer was able to find the files
