Thanks for the suggestions Andreas, I didn't know about the policy
option before. I used it and came up with the following:
/usr/mirror is in sources.list:
commanche:~# grep /usr/mirror /etc/apt/sources.list
#deb file:/usr/mirror/debian testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb file:/usr/mirror/debian testing main
commanche:~# apt-cache policy cpp
cpp:
Installed: 4:4.0.2-2
Candidate: 4:4.0.2-2
Version table:
*** 4:4.0.2-2 0
500 file: testing/main Packages
500 http://ftp.uk.debian.org testing/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
apt-get upgrade will now try and get cpp-4.0 4.0.2-8, however:
commanche:~# find /usr/mirror -name cpp*deb|grep 4.0.2-8
/usr/mirror/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-4.0/cpp-4.0_4.0.2-8_i386.deb
Interrupting apt-upgrade, running apt-update again and rerunning it
still won't pick it up from the local mirror.
