Package: apt
Version: 0.6.41
Severity: serious
The --allow-unauthenticated option does not revert to the exact
pre-0.6.27 behavior: even when this flag is passed on the command
line, apt still favors an authenticated package on the network to an
unauthenticated package on the local host (say with a file:/// URL in
the sources.list).
No combination of switches seems to be sufficient to _completely_
remove any kind of authentication-related feature (and revert to the
pre-0.6.27 behavior in all respects).
This severely breaks very-low-bandwidth systems where it is assumed
that the local package set will be favored over the networked ones.
