Re: Using private apt-repositories

[Anton Mikanovich <amikan@ilbers.de>]

Hello Ulrich,

IMAGE_INSTALL variable is used for recipe dependency, those recipes will be
built and debs with those names will be installed.
What you are trying to achieve should be done with IMAGE_PREINSTALL 
variable,
it will just install the deb.
