2012-06-17 11:56:25 Mohammad Anwar Shah description Ubuntu software center is not able to install packages from local repository as this question in AskUbuntu.com suggests: Link http://askubuntu.com/q/137426/61218 I have a Local repository, created to avoid re-downloading of packages. It is a trusted repository, so no "Authentication errors" are there. I've tested it with synaptic and apt-get. But I don't want to install synaptic every time, I install Ubuntu (since synaptic is removed from default Live CD since Oneiric). The problem is : "Ubuntu Software Center" does not install packages from local repository. The install button is greyed out. It installs packages only when I connect to the Internet and for some unknown reason it re-downloads the packages which are also in my Local repository. My question is: __How can I use Software-Center to install packages from local repository ?__ Note: I have placed my local apt line to the top of the sources.list file and installing from `apt-get` do not require re-downloading for the same packages. Here is the output of command from apt-get : <pre> anwar@Ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install nautilus-wipe --print-uris [sudo] password for anwar: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: nautilus-wipe 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 131 not upgraded.
