apt-get update command not working from xenial local mirror
9,227
I had the same problem. For me the solution was:
rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50appstream
The source: Ubuntu 16.04 apt-get update doesn't work with local repository

Using apt-mirror, I downloaded the xenial packages to my machine (ip address: 172.16.3.37). The content of my "mirror.list" for apt-mirror is the following.

The files were successfully downloaded.
I tried to install packages using this repo from another machine. That machine's /etc/apt/sources.list contains the following line (I intentionally kept only one line to reduce the number of errors).
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main restricted universe multiverse free non-free
Now, when I try "apt-get update" I am getting the following.

I had asked a similar question here. Any helpful thought is greatly appreciated.

muru almost 8 years@user4661268 the DEP-11 lines are a separate issue and a known bug: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-mirror/+bug/1550852 You can ignore those errors, it doesn't affect the working at all.
