I'd like to remove packages gotten from deb-multimedia and replace
some from the Debian repos. However, removing them will also remove a
bunch of libs and kde progs. E.g., apt-get remove libavcodec53
yields:
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 190 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
I'm not up to reinstalling 190 packages. apt-get install that pkg
just tells me that "libavcodec53 is already the newest version". Is
there any way around this? Is it possible to easily replace the deb-
multimedia pkgs with the Debian ones?
It's possible. I've done it with aptitude by looking up each package
from the list generated by the command below and selecting the Debian
version instead of the deb-multimedia version.
aptitude search ~S~i~Omultimedia
With apt-get you would have to build up a big command line like
apt-get install package1/version1 package2/versions ...
because there are lots of interdependencies which would get in the way.
You can find packages from deb-multimedia without aptitude as well. Like so
$ dpkg-query -Wf '${Package}\n' \
| xargs -d'\n' sh -euf -c '
apt-cache showpkg "$@" \
| sed -ne"
s/^Package: //p;
/^Versions:/,/^Reverse Depends:/{
\_^[^[:space:]].*(/var/lib/dpkg/status)_p;
};" \
| sed -ne"N; /_deb.multimedia_/P;"
' sh
Result of this command will be list of packages, which are installed
(referenced
from /var/lig/dpkg/status) and that are available from deb-multimedia.
If this package
version also available from other source (like squeeze repository), it
_also_ will be
listed. Such extra packages may be filtered by editing 2nd sed's regexp.
