One way is with dselect, just select the stuff you want and if the dependency problems pop hit x to overide them. Note that .deb packages will probably not be configured to look for things in /usr/local, so you will probably have to edit config files before things work. Also, many programs will have compiled in places that they look, which will mean you will need simlinks. The best thing is probably just to install the package that provides what you now have in /usr/local. __ I like six eggs when starting on a journey. Fried - not poached. And mind you don't break 'em.
