I followed following post How to set up an apt-cacher server?, but having this error:

got@got-mypc:/var/cache/apt/archives$ sudo /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-import.pl        /var/cache/apt/archives/
    Importing from /var/cache/apt/archives/
    Moving package files from /var/cache/apt/archives/ to /var/cache/apt-cacher
    Importing: account-plugin-facebook_0.8-0ubuntu2.2_i386.deb
    Failed to move account-plugin-facebook_0.8-0ubuntu2.2_i386.deb to /var/cache/apt-cacher/packages/account-plugin-facebook_0.8-0ubuntu2.2_i386.deb: Permission denied.
    Try read-only (-r) or symlink (-l) options. at /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-import.pl line 364.

Why facebook error since i haven't installed any plugins for fb atleast by myself. Also i tried this using root login but didn't work. How to solve this now.

  • What are the permissions on the offending deb... what does ls -al /var/cache/apt/archives/account-plugin-facebook_0.8-0ubuntu2.2_i386.deb show for owner, read/write permissions? If you don't use the plugin, you could just remove the file and try again. – Rudu Feb 07 '14 at 15:56

There are 3 options.

  1. Use the read only option:

    sudo /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-import.pl -r /var/cache/apt/archives/

  2. Use the symlink option:

    sudo /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-import.pl -l /var/cache/apt/archives/

  3. Remove the offending package and try again:

    sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/account-plugin-facebook_0.8-0ubuntu2.2_i386.deb to /var/cache/apt-cacher/packages/account-plugin-facebook_0.8-0ubuntu2.2_i386.deb
sudo /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-import.pl /var/cache/apt/archives/
