Well... not a command per se, but the package "equivs" contains commands that can generate dummy packages for you.
Technically, a dummy package is never "needed" - otherwise it would not be a dummy (!). But it is useful if you want to use a locally-installed version of a package that other packages depend on: The dummy package will fool the package management system into thinking the dependency is resolved. -- Karl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
