Firefox plugin installs doesn't use sources.list

[Jo-Erlend Schinstad]

Binary package hint: firefox

When you encounter a page that needs flash in order to display properly, you're presented a dialog with an option to install either Adobe Flash or Gnash. When you choose to install, at least Gnash, then the software is downloaded from the global repository instead of the mirror spesified in /etc/apt/sources.list. This is annoying when you have a local mirror.

Have you tried temporarily disabling the other sources?

[Jo-Erlend Schinstad (joerlend.schinstad-deactivatedaccount)]

I had simply replaced the address of the original mirror with my local one, so if I understand your question correctly, yes. Perhaps Ubufox has it's own configuration?

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

I meant through the Software Sources tool.

[Jo-Erlend Schinstad (joerlend.schinstad-deactivatedaccount)]

How is that relevant? That only edits sources.list, doesn't it?

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

No, it also let's you choose mirrors from which to use.

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

OK, i've just realized what you've been trying to say. Could you post your sources.lst file?
