Hi, I have already solved my problem. I am going to try to explain what I did.
1 - Downloaded, compiled and installed xfree86 4.4.0 2 - Discovered all the packages .deb made from xfree86 sources -> http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xfree86/ 3 - With grep and a script, I created automatically one file for each deb package (equivalent to do lots of times: equivs-control name): ------------------------------ Section: x11 Priority: optional Standards-Version: 4.4.0 Package: xlibs Version: 4.4.0 Maintainer: XX <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Provides: xlibs ------------------------------ to be used with equivs. 4 - I created a script that for all packages made equivs-build name and then : dpkg -i name_4.4.0_all.deb
After this I could install xemacs21 with apt-get install, without having any problems with dependencies. Note that apt-get did not install the packages related with xfree86.
Therefore, I installed the sources of the xfree86 4.4.0 and "told" to apt that all packages related with xfree86 were installed.
Does this method take care of dependecies/conflicts ?
Are you willing to share the scripts with us ? I am kind of newbie to scripts/equivs ?
Thanks Hamid
