I don't think it is possible to do this in any sane way. For example, if you locally rebuild your package, adding something like +local1 to the version; that version won't be available from any source; but you still don't want APT to complain that you installed a locally-built package. You could combine this with a black list or something, but this will probably get annoying quickly for many users. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
