"Fake" Package installation?
Hi all...
Is there any way to make the package management think a certain package
was installed? I kinda need something like that to keep woody happy
with my XF86 installation (4.2.0). Until now I'm helping myself by
keeping a separate copy of woody's /usr/X11R6 directory as
/usr/X11R6-4.1.0 that I'm swapping with the regular /usr/X11R6
directory whenever there's something to be installed in there, be it
from upgrades or dependencies of new packages. To make it short: that's
getting on my nerves. XFree is split in so many packages that are just
not needed when it's installed from source that I sometimes get 2 pages
worth of dependencies that are already met.
