Uninstalling software packages, without removing the downloaded .deb in
apt-cache?
Currently I am running Wheezy 32-bit, and recently I installed FreeSWITCH
from the official repos. However, I realized that for the purpose I had in
mind, I needed to rebuild FreeSWITCH myself, from source, which is
somewhat newer than the binary release no. installed.
Just to be sure that I can reinstall/reuse the FreeSWITCH binaries from
official repos at a later date, without having to fetch the package .deb
files again (which took quite a while on my slow connection) — I wanted to
thus uninstall, while keeping the package files in apt cache. How can I
achieve this ?
Also, the FreeSWITCH package installation was done using a meta-package
(i.e. "freeswitch-meta-vanilla") which pulled in all the other FreeSWITCH
package. Would I need to perform this uninstall differently ?
