How does one force the use of a repository?

Tue Jun 7 19:58:22 UTC 2011

Hey Mike,

I asked this question on AskUbuntu[1] (Because I don't personally know
the answer), and according to a comment that was left, it means that
the repository data is up-to-date and you don't have to worry about
it.

However, I'll have more soon once the AU repository "expert" gets on
tonight. It'll be a few hours before he's on, but once he's on and I
have some sort of an answer for you, I'll forward a link with it.

Cheers,
James Gifford
