Bug#394619: apt-get: not favoring sources listed first in sources.list

[clayton <clayton@ckintl.biz>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.2
Severity: normal


I have several Debian testing machines on my local network, so I keep a partial mirror of 
installed packages on one of them (the "clayton1" machine at the top of my sources.list). In 
the past, the machine this bug report is being filed on would take packages first from 
clayton1, and anything it didn't find there would it would pull down from ftp.kr.debian.org.

For the past several weeks, apt-get has been insisting on downloading everything from 
ftp.kr.debian.org, and ignoring packages already present on my clayton1 local mirror.

(apt-get has been observed recently taking packages from clayton1 that do not exist on 
"http://ftp.kr.debian.org/debian/ testing", so I know the clayton1 mirror still works.)
