this is something that has always bugged me about apt. i wish it would assume that my local copy is a newer recompile (which is, almost always, the case). sometimes i recompile packages to enable features which are not on by default and then i have to put the packages on hold because apt wants to get the remote ones. can we please, please reverse the behaviour, or at least make it configurable in /etc/apt/apt.conf, something like PreferLocal "yes". if there is such an option and i missed it, please point it out to me. --alex-- -- | I believe the moment is at hand when, by a paranoiac and active | | advance of the mind, it will be possible (simultaneously with | | automatism and other passive states) to systematize confusion | | and thus to help to discredit completely the world of reality. |
