Compiled package and dependency management

  • 772

I have a package that depends on squid 3.2. I want to replace squid 3.2 with source compiled version of squid 3.3 beta (which is not available in repository). When I remove squid 3.2, the depending package is also getting removed.

  • How can I mark the squid 3.2 dependency as manually resolved?
  • Is that the purpose of the command aptitude umarkauto?
installation

    The better way to do that is to update Squid package itself with a new upstream version, using Debian package management system.

    You can also remove Squid package and its configuration by typing in a terminal:

    sudo apt-get purge squid

    As is, it will not remove any dependency in a automatic way.
