addpackages autofs

[Michael Gellman]

I had a similar problem where I needed my customized local packages to
be installed before ones in the archive. I did this using apt's pinning
support.

In my local repository I have a Release file with contents:
------------------------
Archive: testing
Component: main
Origin: XXX
Label: XXX
Architecture: i386
------------------------

and my /etc/apt/preferences file looks like:
------------------------
Package: *
Pin: release o=XXX
Pin-Priority: 950

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=testing
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 300

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -1
---------------------------

where XXX is just a name for the repository.

Hope that helps,

Michael Gellman
