Hi, I'd like to remove some packages (I don't use/need them) but mp-fremantle-community-pr depends on them.

I can't use "apt-get remove" because I will remove mp-fremantle-community-pr and other packages, instead I use "dpkg --purge --force-depends <<package name>>" to remove only one package at time (and only what I want).

Now the packages are gone, and apt works as usual but after time I use it, apt show go crazy and show a wall of warnings warnings warnings.

The solution without any modification to mp-fremantle-community-pr will be a dummy package creator like equivs (http://www.brain-dump.org/blog/entry...cies_in_Debian). iIs there something like this for N900?

Exemple:
- I want to remove package A
- mp-fremantle-community-pr depends on A
- I remove A with "dpkg --purge --force-depends A"
- I create a dummy package A version 100 (so It will never be replaced by the real one)
- I install dummy A
- apt-get autoremove --purge (just to clean up)

I know it's an "ugly" workaround but It should works...

Is there a way to crate a dummy deb package on my N900?
