I followed the guide for setting up debmirror from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror . I changed the files to go to an external drive and set it to download Focal and Hirsute. Debmirror completes without errors but I get an error when I try to point a computer to it but get an error when I try apt-get update.
Error message:
The repository 'http://192.168.1.42/ubuntu hirsute Release' does not have a Release file.Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
Where am I going wrong?
