packages in /var/cache/apt/archives



I had potato debian installed, then upgraded the
system 
fom potato to woody. During the upgrade through ftp
using apt-get it downloaded and saved the newpackages
in 

/var/cache/apt/archives.

I then burned all the files in that directory. I also
had
 potato debian installed in my home pc, i copied all 
files from CD to /var/cache/apt/archives directory.
when 
i tried upgrading the system it still tries to
download 
the files from the net even though i had the package
in 
the directory. 

What should i do, so that when i do apt-get install 
packagename it would not download it on the net? 


TIA
