Is there some way to remove a package from package control without actually
removing the installed files from the filesystem?
I have a situation where I had a package ("gallery") installed via apt-get,
then my admin partner installed the linux package from a source tarball. A
package vulernability for "gallery" was annouced, so I upgraded the package
to the new woody package, and trounced over the source package (oops).
I want to pull "gallery" out of the apt system, but I don't want it to touch
the existing files until we can reinstall the program from the source
installer. So, I'd like a way to "apt-get remove" or "dpkg -r" without
actually touching the installed files.
By the way--we don't want to install using a backport from unstable because
there are custom patches involved. We just want to build the thing from
source and keep it entirely out of apt-get's control.
