Greetings,

I'm running FC2. I have a package (a plugin connector to Evolution) 
which I have had to install with --nodeps because of some slightly odd 
dependencies which have to be fixed by symlinking to certain libraries. 
It all works fine and isn't breaking anything else.

The problem is that apt-get and Synaptic both hiccup on this package and 
refuse to install any updates until the offending package has been 
removed. Is there a way to flag this package as "really OK" and have 
apt-get/synaptic to stop being offended by it?

thanks,
