Hi, This is probably a stupid question, but I did a search on this list with 'apt-get source dpkg -i upgrade' and there was no answer, so here it is.
I've upgraded gcc from 3.3 to 3.4 and, since I always build KDE from CVS, I needed to recompile some c++ dependent packages like fam. So, I got fam with 'apt-get source libfam0c102 libfam-dev', builded the packages and installed it with 'dpkg -i libfam0c102_2.7.0-5_i386.deb libfam-dev_2.7.0-5_i386.deb'. I did the same for expat (turned out not c++, but anyways, so I build it but didn't install it). Now if I do 'apt-get -s upgrade', I get # apt-get -s upgrade Pakketlijsten worden ingelezen... Klaar Boom van vereisten wordt opgebouwd... Klaar De volgende pakketten zullen opgewaardeerd worden: libfam-dev libfam0c102 2 pakketten opgewaardeerd, 0 nieuwe paketten geïnstalleerd, 0 verwijderen en 0 niet opgewaardeerd. Inst libfam0c102 [2.7.0-5] (2.7.0-5 Debian:testing) Inst libfam-dev [2.7.0-5] (2.7.0-5 Debian:testing) Conf libfam0c102 (2.7.0-5 Debian:testing) Conf libfam-dev (2.7.0-5 Debian:testing) so it wants to replace it again what I just build. How can I prevent this? What's puzzling me most is that this seems so a common thing to do, jet I can't find this issue in the apt-howto document. I tried the local repository method, adding 'deb file:/usr/src/debian debs' in sources.list, doing a 'apt-get update'. But now I get: # apt-get -s upgrade Pakketlijsten worden ingelezen... Klaar Boom van vereisten wordt opgebouwd... Klaar De volgende pakketten zullen opgewaardeerd worden: libexpat1 libexpat1-dev 2 pakketten opgewaardeerd, 0 nieuwe paketten geïnstalleerd, 0 verwijderen en 0 niet opgewaardeerd. Inst libexpat1 [1.95.6-8] (1.95.6-8 Debian:testing) Inst libexpat1-dev [1.95.6-8] (1.95.6-8 Debian:testing) Conf libexpat1 (1.95.6-8 Debian:testing) Conf libexpat1-dev (1.95.6-8 Debian:testing) W/o the -s, it downloads the expat pkgs instead of using the local ones. So this didn't fix it. Regards, Koos Vriezen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
