Re: [orca-list] problem after upgrade

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hi Tony,
I didn't understand the sweedish but from what I can gather it seems
like apt is detecting that you have modified pyatspi (from updating
at-spi to the SVN version) so apt doesn't want to alter something you
have altered. To prevent apt complaining you should really tell apt that
you are managing the packages (all the software you have got from SVN).
I am quite new to apt myself, but I am sure that the apt manual does
tell you how to inform it of packages you are managing yourself. Another
thing is that ubuntu splits some software into multiple packages
(pyatspi I think is actually part of atspi, but ubuntu has pyatspi as a
separate package), so you may need to find out all the ubuntu packages
you are managing. If you are going to manage packages yourself, then
don't forget to keep updating the software you are meant to be managing,
eg. remember to keep updating atspi from SVN.
