Taken from http://geekwentfreak-raviteja.rhcloud.com/blog/2012/10/10/modify-dependencies-addremove-files-of-debian-deb-package/

First download the deb package:

apt-get download gnome-control-center

Then we create a temporal folder to where we will be unpacking the deb content:

mkdir temporal
dpkg-deb -x gnome-control-center_1%3a3.6.3-0ubuntu56.1+7.0trisquel6_amd64.deb temporal dpkg-deb --control gnome-control-center_1%3a3.6.3-0ubuntu56.1+7.0trisquel6_amd64.deb temporal/DEBIAN

We will then modify the package dependencies and delete the old deb package we won't be needing:

rm gnome-control-center_1%3a3.6.3-0ubuntu56.1+7.0trisquel6_amd64.deb
gedit temporal/DEBIAN/control


Look for the line that says "Breaks: compiz (
