Hi,
My problem is regarding "apt-get upgrade". I'm behind a proxy that blocks files of more than 20mb from getting downloaded. I gave "apt-get upgrade" and most packages got download, but not the ones with more than 20mb like mysql-server and some others.
Now, i got packages which are less than 20mb in /var/cache/apt/archives/ and i have managed to download the rest of the packages, having more than 20mb, manually using a web-proxy connection.
Question is, how can I make apt-get trick into believing that it has downloaded all packages into /var/cache/apt/archives/ and make it install them?
Please help?

man 8 apt-get:
apt-get -m upgrade
Code: Select all
-m, --ignore-missing, --fix-missing
Ignore missing packages; If packages cannot be retrieved or fail
the integrity check after retrieval (corrupted package files),
hold back those packages and handle the result. Use of this
option together with -f may produce an error in some situations.
If a package is selected for installation (particularly if it is
mentioned on the command line) and it could not be downloaded
then it will be silently held back. Configuration Item:
APT::Get::Fix-Missing.
