Hi Dave,
I have a custom deb that conflicts with something in my kernel deb (which I don't wish to mess with). I'm wanting to do --force-overwrite. Anyone have a suggestion? Maybe there's a way to download the package from my local repository so I can install it later manually from a class?
I would recommend writing a hook script which calls dpkg-divert appropriately. See the dpkg-divert manpage. ;)
Regards, Michael
