Ah, yes, you're quite right, I forgot about that check. ;)

Ok, I have an installation source here locally, and I moved it to the top of 
the list. Another alternative source contains the same package that I'm going 
to install. Then I shutdown apache, selected the package, clicked 'Accept' 
and YaST responded with:

  Cannot access installation source

  [..] [..] [Skip]

I clicked skip.

What then happened, happened so fast that I could not see it. After yast was 
done I clicked "Install more packages", and searched for the just installed 
package. The package was installed. Obviously YaST had fetched the package 
from the alternative source.

Does this answer your question?

Cheers,

Leen
