Exim from source
Hi guys I have compiled the exim 4.20 from source and would like to install it on my deb box, however it already has the version that comes with woody installed and I cannot remove it because of dependancy problems. Any ideas ? Thanks Craig
Re: Exim from source
Create an empty dummy-package that solves the dependencies. This link should help you: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-helpers.en.html#s-equivs Craig [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on Mon, 19 May 2003 12:02:51 +0200: I have compiled the exim 4.20 from source and would like to install it on my deb box, however it already has the version that comes with woody installed and I cannot remove it because of dependancy problems.

One way to do it is to use the equivs package, which is basically a fake package that lies to dpkg and satisfies dependencies. The APT HOWTO at http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-helpers.en.html describes how to use it, and even uses an MTA as the example case. Note, however, that the package information page at http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/equivs.html uses language like crude hack to describe itself. If there's Debian packaging information for 4.20, I'd strongly recommend just building a new Debian package file and installing /it/ instead. -- Asher Densmore-Lynn [EMAIL PROTECTED]
