[Comm-en] Setup local directory for apt

[tama4]

I am trying to set up apt to use a local directory in addition to the default 
repositories. 
I get the following error:

[root@localhost root]# apt-get update
[root@localhost root]# apt-get update
Ign file: alt/ release
Get:1 ftp://updates.altlinux.com Junior/2.2/i586 release [687B]

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones 
used instead.

I am trying to use /root/alt as the directory. I ran 'dpkg-scansources alt | 
gzip > alt/Sources.gz'  and that created 'Sources.gz'

This is the addition to sources.list 'rpm-src file:/root alt/'
I am going off a debian how to. Could not find any for ALJ2.2
Any ideas on what I am missing/doing wrong?

Did you run genbasedir? That creates the source.list and pkg.list.
