 Hi,
 is there a way to change a package dependency without rebuilding it ?
 For example, gimp2.6 depends on libwebkit-1.0.1, and i want latest 
 libwebkit-1.0.2
 installed. I don't really care to break that dependency since gimp will work
 without libwebkit (although some stuff will be broken, but i don't mind).
 Of course i force installed libwebkit-1.0.2, still i don't want aptitude to 
 complain
 about gimp being broken. And i don't feel like fixing and rebuilding gimp, nor
 i want to remove it !

 Any way ?

Yes, deb-reversion(1) from the devscripts package. Not sure if this
question was on-topic for -mentors, though; I don’t think so.
