AFAICT, apt uses some sort of checksum to ensure that the package installed matches the one from apt. To get around this, you can bump up the version of the package you build, so that it looks newer to apt. Edit debian/changelog and add a new entry, with a slightly higher version number (e.g. add ".0" at the end). Make sure that you follow the same entry format (especially pay attention to the number of spaces in various places), or else you'll have problems rebuilding. Rebuild and reinstall. (Of course, this only works until a new package gets uploaded to the apt repository. You could use epochs (is that the right name?) to get around this, but I'm not sure exactly how, as I've never done it myself. Maybe it's just putting a "1:" in front of the version number in debian/changelog.) -- Hubert Chan <hubert@uhoreg.ca> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
