I am attempting the 3 step example listed in the documentation using apt-offline
1.6 on Ubuntu 14.10 and am seeing some confusing results.

Step 1 (on non-networked machine):
I run: sudo ../apt-offline set install.sig

This produces a 4,184 byte file which seems fine.

Step 2 (on networked machine):
I run: ../apt-offline get ./install.sig --threads 10 --bundle install.bundle

This produces a 28,807,930 byte file which seems good so far.

Step 3 (back on non-networked machine):
I run: sudo ../apt-offline install install.bundle --allow-unauthenticated
--skip-bug-reports

This produces a bunch of output that appears to be useful that look like:
/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_utopic_Release.gpg
synced.

Everything seems good up to this point.

However, when I run 'sudo apt-get upgrade', it does not install anything. 
Instead it produces the following output:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Am I doing something wrong?
