Bug Description
Ubuntu software center is not able to install packages from local repository as this question in AskUbuntu.com suggests:
Link http://
I have a Local repository, created to avoid re-downloading of packages. It is a trusted repository, so no "Authentication errors" are there. I've tested it with synaptic and apt-get.
But I don't want to install synaptic every time, I install Ubuntu (since synaptic is removed from default Live CD since Oneiric).
The problem is : "Ubuntu Software Center" does not install packages from local repository. The install button is greyed out. It installs packages only when I connect to the Internet and for some unknown reason it re-downloads the packages which are also in my Local repository.
My question is: How can I use Software-Center to install packages from local repository ?
Note: I have placed my local apt line to the top of the sources.list file and installing from `apt-get` do not require re-downloading for the same packages.
Here is the output of command from apt-get :
anwar@Ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install nautilus-wipe --print-uris
[sudo] password for anwar:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
nautilus-wipe
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 131 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/30.7 kB of archives.
After this operation, 150 kB of additional disk space will be used.

It is okay with the local copy.
Ubuntu Software Center is not happy with the local copy. The install button is grayed out. Why? http://
