Moving_Installed_Files

[Cousin Stanley <cousinstanley@hotmail.com>]

Greetings .... 

  If I move installed files from their original 
  apt-get install target locations, is there a
  a simple way to redirect the package managers
  to cope with these path changes for future 
  updates/upgrades of a particular package ?
  
  For example, I've installed the  python2.3-qt3  package
  under Debian/Sarge and moved all of the associated files
  into a  NEW  dir within the  /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages  dir 
  and added a necessary  .pth  file to compliment the python 
  search rules ....
  
  So far, this seems to function as expected in the  python/qt  zone,
  e.g., all of the  python/qt  demos still work, but I'm wondering
  how to deal with future updates/upgrades ....
