Ive used apt-get in the past, but not recently. I maintain a local copy of the fedora2 archive, and do a
genbasedir $TOP os updates
after each update.
my /etc/apt/sources.list file has the line
rpm ftp://orion apt/fedora2/ updates
in it, which was the only uncommented line in the past.
So, Im missing something, as now I get the error message:
[reg@orion apt]$ apt-get update Fetching list of repositories/mirrors... /var/state/apt/mirrors.list.new: Permission denied E: Failed to fetch mirror list file:
What is this trying to tell me?

That you need to be root to run apt.
Also since you're using a local repository you can put Apt::State::FirstRun "false"; to /etc/apt/apt.conf to prevent it from asking you to select the preferred repository mirror on the first (successful) run.
Oh and you need to use --bloat option with genbasedir for FC/RHEL/RHL repositories, otherwise it's going to be a rather broken repository because some file dependencies can't be matched.
