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. B -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
