How to tell apt-get or dpkg to forget about a package?
Hi Debian Users!
I use make-kpkg to create a new kernel-image for
Knoppix and install it using dpkg.
The install will go all the way except for a
Failed-config because he is trying to create an
initrd.img on /boot and cannot because there is no
/etc/fstab around.
There won't be a fstab because Knoppix from CD creates
that on-the-fly. But everything is OK, he puts
vmlinuz, etc. into /boot and creates
/lib/modules/2.4.21-xfs.
But...
Now everytime when I use apt-get install he tries to
re-install that kernel-image that I am already using.
He displays the prose that make-kpkg creates and wants
a "continue". At that point I hit Ctrl-c and he
installs what I apt-getted.
Question: how can I tell him to forget about the
failed-config of kernel-image-2.4.21-xfs and leave it
as is. I don't want to read about kernel-image
everytime I install something... Eventually I will
purge it, but not now because it is my remastered
kernel?
Thanks!
Hugo.
