Hello, I'm having trouble getting apt-get to use my local mirror (created with apt-move) instead of remote debian mirrors. It works if I remove all remote mirrors. I tried pinning/change origin,labels/make custom Release/package files with apt-ftparchive , nothing works. I straced it and it apt-get looks at my local lists in /var/lib/apt/lists but just picks out the remote ones after processing them all. Why is it not grabbing from my local mirror with apt-get -d --reinstall install <somepackage> (I use these options to quickly test local packages, but it also fails without these option) ? I searched and saw that more people have this problem, but I didn't see a solution. And as a sidenote, why doesn't apt-ftparchive create the appropiate Release files such as main/binary-i386/Release?
