redirect from directory to another
Hi, I like to have 2 installations of the same distro, 1 working
and one for 'messing/breaking'. Each time I re-install the 'messing' version I copy the contents of apt cache archive from working. Now it's up to 1.5gb is there any way (I'm sure there must be) to point the new empty cache to the old full cache on a different partition? So that synaptic would use the existing debs. ie When synaptic looks in /var/cache/apt/archives at actually sees the contents of /mnt/hdb5/var/cache/apt/archives Any info, even phrases I should be googling for would be appreciated. Thanks |
simple thing like:
ln -s this_old_dir to_this_new_dir should do it. |
One word: symlink

worked great. Synaptic does use the old archive, which is good, but it also shows this error, even though everything seemed to work ok. E: Unable to stat to. - stat (40 Too many levels of symbolic links) I'll go googling... |
