apt-get dist-upgrade replacing self-built archives

1999-12-12 Thread peter karlsson
Hi!

How come that apt-get dist-upgrade upgrades packages that I have
compiled myself (from the sources), although the version in the Debian
archive is the same as the one I have compiled myself?

Because the md5sum does not match that of the 'real' version.  You
should either put the package on hold in dselect(does dist-upgrade
respect holds?).  Or add an entry to the debian/changelog and increase
the version number before you build the package.  Not sure what is the
best versioning scheme, maybe follow the NMU rules of adding a .X
version to the last version.
