Hi *,

What a difference a day made :-(

Yesterday i finished a chef config which worked well. Running it today i get caught by external dependecies:

so I searched the mailing list and found there is a apt recipe with a cache / cache-client config

so is it possible to pre-load apt with external apt_repository information and share this on a client run?

what would it take? A instance with apt::cache and a recipe which does add this repos?

I haven't used the apt cacher yet, but does running apt-get update resolve the problem? Alternatively, can you run with -l debug to get the explanation of the error?

it seems they did a update on the ubuntu partner apt_repo. running it manually on the commandline worked without a problem.

so what to do about such a problem? running against my own mirror of this partner repo? I though a step in between would be running against a cached local apt which i can update with cron. but that would require to add all needed repos outside a chef run?
