After downloading the packages from the ppa (I didn't want to include the ppa in my repositories) I did a dpkg -i <cheese package names>
In detail, after downloading the amd64 bit packages from the ppa into a local directory, (I wasn't interested int he dev packages) sudo apt-get remove cheese cheese-common libcheese-gtk21 libcheese3 (below is all one line) sudo dpkg -i cheese_3.5.1-0ubuntu3~201206171022+git4558781~precise1_amd64.deb libcheese-gtk21_3.5.1-0ubuntu3~201206171022+git4558781~precise1_amd64.deb libcheese3_3.5.1-0ubuntu3~201206171022+git4558781~precise1_amd64.deb cheese-common_3.5.1-0ubuntu3~201206171022+git4558781~precise1_all.deb (Note - dpkg is the basic command for adding and removing packages - other programs like aptitude and apt-get and gdebi are built around it and provide more functionality) I hope the above helps, if not, send me another email.
