Install Other Package

Run apt-get -f install

Hello,

I recompiled some debian packages with optimized settings and installed them. However, the package manager does not recognize these packages as equal but wants to update them to their original version, i.e. 1.2.3 updated to 1.2.3. (I do not think that the packager manager should update to an equal version as this is not what I understand by an update.) Anyhow, the only way I can stop this is by ignoring all updates, which is not a good solution.

Instead do I want to give the recompiled packages their own version, i.e. append a "-local" to the version string and have the package manager recognize these as different packages.

I would like to avoid changing each and every control file manually, but could not find the right dpkg-* tool for it yet. How do I do this?

I need to install a different version of PLESK AUTOINSTALL. I downloaded the file to my pc. How do I install it?

I have a clean install of Squeeze.
The CPU keeps pegging. I see on System Monitor that the process apt-get, which started with the command line of "update" is running and using 100%. I kill it, and it keeps coming back. I disabled automatic daily updates, and it made no difference.

Why is it hanging, and why is it running by itself?

Hi all,

This is Uday here,

The internet repositories for squeeze are being added to the existing lenny installation.
but this is a amd-64 dvd and synaptic reports that it's perhaps not a debian disk.

I don't wish to reinstall for upgrading to squeeze (amd-64) from lenny i386

Kindly help me find a way out.

--Bye and
--Have a Nice Day
