** Description changed:
Ubuntu 12.04, but the problem is also on older versions
Trying to install packages which are added to the sources list by "deb
file:", and the system has been refreshed (i.e. the packages appear
under "local" in Synaptic), fails. It fails in that way, instead
installing it from the local file repository, the system tries to
download it from the Ubuntu repositories, and if there is no internet
connection, the local files are ignored and no installation is made.
Man page "sources.list (5)" says:
"The source list /etc/apt/sources.list is designed to support any number
of active sources and a variety of source media. The file lists one
source per line, with the most preferred source listed first."
The sources.list has been edited manually and the "deb file:" line was
set as the first line.
When all Ubuntu repositories are disabled and only the "deb file:"
remains, the installation is performed.

I am referring to:
Bug #2366203 “Edgy web repository overrides local repository”
This bug was about a similar problem, but was closed
-
Bug #1014277 "Ubuntu Software Center does not installing packages from Local
repository"
was declared duplicate of bug 911706
-
Bug #911706 "USC relies on NM to be online, can't force online if not using
NM"
The difference to what I have to report is: There the problem is only with
USC, while my problem is obviously in apt.

"Installation oder updates mit Synaptic deb file" (in German)
In German ubuntusers Forum we have made some tests, including different apt
versions
apt (0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.15) and apt 0.9.9.1~ubuntu3
the results were all negative.
