Re: Removing Helix packages
To quote Hall Stevenson <hallstevenson@mindspring.com>,
# Well, for some stupid reason, I decided to give the Gnome packages
from Helix a try. After re-starting X-Windows, I noticed that my Eterms
don't have scrollbars and scroll-arrows. My first assumption is that
it's related to Helix's version of the various imlib packages. Now
though, I can't remove them, at least without removing a bunch of other
packages that depend on them.
#
# I've tried different "--ignore-depends=???" options, "--force", etc
with no luck. I'm sure there is a way to force the removal of *just* the
items I specify, isn't there ?? If so, could someone explain ??
Yup - use dpkg. 'dpkg --force-depends <package>'.
