Oops!
Finally got around to installing Pulseaudio-Equalizer on my 64-bit
Wheezy, which by the way is NOT in the Wheezy repos or backports.
However, was able to find a tar.gz file of it from the developer's site,
IIRC. It's been months since I downloaded it. I've been busy. ;-)
In any case, here's the "problem:" the equalizer needs
multimedia-volume-control.svg. A search turned up it was part of
the gnome-control-center-data package. Not having Gnome on this
system, just a window manager--Openbox--installing the package would
have resulted in Gnome being install, too. More or less. So I just did
as root in /root a 'dpkg --download,' and then an '--unpack' thinking
that would uncompress the .deb file in /root from which I would get the
single svg file I needed, and then just delete everything else. Simple.
Right? Wrong. Now, I'm stuck with about 4.5 megs of Gnome data, icons,
and config files scattered all over the system that I want to get rid
of before they cause any problems, if any.
My plan is to copy the file I need to someplace safe, then 'dpkg
--purge' the original package to clean the system of it, and copy the
file back to where it needs to be. Sound okay? Any expected gotchas?
Any better alternatives?
Thanks.
