Replacing default PPP deb with custom deb?
A little background on the situation:
I'm working on replacing an existing RH based firewall with a Debian based
installation. The upcoming woody release has packages for everything I
need save two items in PPP. These are MPPE and stripping of the MS Domain
in CHAP authentications. I have the patches necessary to impliment these
two features and have built a custom deb of the PPP package with these
applied. The custom package installs and appears to work just fine.
Now for the actual problem:
The deb package made from the patched source bears the same name and
version as the official package. I tried finding a way to change this,
but haven't found anything of help. I suspect either I'm not looking in
the right locations, or I'm not searching for the right items. Then
result of this is that apt wants to upgrade the installed version of PPP
any time I check for upgraded packages. Obviously, I don't want this to
happen.
I've tried pinnning the PPP package, but my attempts have been
ineffectual.
Would someone please point me to a reference on how to accomplish this?
