updating offline machine with apt-offline

Asked by mahesh

I am trying to update my old p4 machine having xubuntu 14.04 offline

So as stated on http://docs.xubuntu.org/1304/offline-packages.html page

I ran following command on my offline machine to generate .sig file

sudo apt-offline set --update apt-offline.sig

Following output is shown

Generating database of files that are needed for an update.
E: Command line option --simulate is not understood
ERROR: FATAL: Something is wrong with the apt system.

please suggest any solution

thank you
