Temporary fix: Force autopackage installation system-wide or local. I accidentally uploaded the patch two times, but anyone of the two should work. I've created the patch in the main directory.

I've committed a modified version of the patch in r2438. I didn't like the use of magic numbers so I changed the value of $INSTALL_FORCE to be either system or local.
