Packages I Don't want to upgrade
OK, this should be simple...
There are a number of packages (XF86 3.3.6) that are 'installed' in my
system - but are not really installed. In fact, they are only in the
dpkg database. I did a manual install of XF86 4.0.1 from tarballs quite
a while ago.
However, I have no desire to 'upgrade' the XF83 3.3.6 debs, since they
overwrite the tarball installation.
I'm sure there is a way in Debian to flag certain packages to not
upgrade, and I would appreciate any instructions on this.
Also - I know there is a XF4 deb packaging project, and it's rather...
alpha. Is there at least a meta-package that will meet all the XF86
dependancies, and not be overwritten by XF86 3 debs? (Meaning, it meets
the deps for it, but it'll let me use the existing tarball installation
from XF86.org?)
Thanks,
Troy
