The following describes how to create a Ubuntu local source:
There are two types of packages in the packs Folder: one is a. Deb package (full dependency package and software package, and the other is packages.gz.

The second type of package includes the list of required software packages and dependency information.
This package is generated later. It is generated using the following command:
Sudo dpkg-scanpackages packs/dev/null | gzip> packs/Packages.gz ### packs contains the folder of all software packages. This command is executed in a directory on the pakcs folder. Packages.gz is generated in the packs folder.

1. Copy all packages in packs to the/var/cache/apt/archives/directory.
Command:
Sudo cp ~ /Packs/*. deb/var/cache/apt/archives/
Sudo chmod 777-R/var/cache/apt/archives/

2. Create such a directory under the/media directory:
Create gutsy and create packs under gutsy ### note that all files are folders
Copy packages.gz to packs and grant the permission.
Command:
Sudo mkdir/media/gutsy
Sudo mkdir/media/gutsy/packs
Sudo cp ~ /Packages.gz/media/packs/
Sudo chmod 777-R/media/gutsy/
Sudo chmod 777-R/var/cache/apt/archives/

3. After completing the above work, execute the following command:
Sudo gedit/etc/apt/sources. list
Enter the sources. list file, clear the content in the file, and fill in the following line:
Deb file: // media/gutsy packs/
After the three steps are completed, the local source is created.
Run
Sudo apt-get update
After sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, everything is normal.
