Comment 1 for bug 1277678

Yech :( So I did the work to ensure our local repo has priority:

$ apt-cache policy freepats
freepats:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 20060219-1
  Version table:
     20060219-1 0
        500 file:/var/local-apt-repositories/apt-repo-trusty-desktop-amd64.iso-20140210-git_13a1.9rc1-1_amd64_stress_1.0.1-1ubuntu1_amd64_openttd_1.3.3-1build1_amd64/ ./ Packages
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages

The package is available from the local repo first, then the remote one. Still, by disabling connectivity through specifying an invalid proxy, it still insists on trying to download the remote packages:

$ sudo apt-get install freepats

The following NEW packages will be installed:

After this operation, 34.0 MB of additional disk space will be used.

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Looks like we will have to resort to disabling all existing repositories :(
