You can achieve that with pinning. You've to increase the priority for your
repository over the 500 default. See 'apt-cache policy' and
'man 5 apt_preferences' for the details.

how to give priority to local repository
 

Thanks for answer, I did it* but there is* an extra line
( the first**** 900 http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main Translation-fr )
*how to remove it:


here is my file

cat /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: origin ""
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: origin "localhost"
Pin-Priority: 600


Package: *
Pin: origin "ftp.fr.debian.org"
Pin-Priority: 500

Here is the output
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
**** release a=now
*900 http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main Translation-fr

*500 http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/non-free i386 Packages
**** release v=6.0.1,o=Debian,a=stable,n=squeeze,l=Debian,c=non-free
**** origin ftp.fr.debian.org

*500 http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/contrib i386 Packages
**** release v=6.0.1,o=Debian,a=stable,n=squeeze,l=Debian,c=con trib
**** origin ftp.fr.debian.org

*500 http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main i386 Packages
**** release v=6.0.1,o=Debian,a=stable,n=squeeze,l=Debian,c=mai n
**** origin ftp.fr.debian.org

*600 ftp://localhost/extra6Bis/* Packages
**** origin localhost
*900 file:/opt/extra6/* Packages

Those are the translated package descriptions. That shoudn't have
any effect on the package selection process but you somehow hit them
with the empty origin definition.

If the versions are identical it should be enough to list the local
repository first in sources.list.
