Tried making a local copy of the cosmic repo, but every time I try installing a package I'm getting Package has no installation candiate.

I followed the steps here to create the local repo.

This is my mirror.list

############# config ##################

I made the symlink in /var/www/html to point to the repo for apache2:

ls -la /var/www/html/

total 20

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 Jan  1 11:58 .

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root  4096 Jan  1 11:27 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10918 Jan  1 11:32 index.html

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    44 Jan  1 11:58 ubuntu -> /mnt/mirror/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

I updated my sources.list and ran apt-get update

deb http://127.0.1.1/ubuntu cosmic main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://127.0.1.1/ubuntu cosmic-security main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://127.0.1.1/ubuntu cosmic-updates main restricted universe multiverse

I can see the directories when I visit the page in a browser, and it looks like it matches the official repo.

What am I missing here?

Found this post where he used the following:

deb [arch=amd64 trusted=yes] file:///home/discoprodigy debbin/

Modified my sources.list:

deb [arch=amd64 trusted=yes] http://127.0.0.1/ubuntu cosmic main restricted universe multiverse

Looks like adding architecture and trusted fixed the problem.
