Bunch of updates: added fix package manager option, pinning, a couple bug fixes and general cleanup. Should be good to go for about anything.
Thanks oldfred. This is exactly what I needed. Ignoring the /fixmbr and doing the following three commands fixed the problem. Not sure why installed Grub broke this but it's working good now.
Ok, I learned this is not how to do it. A debhelper programs should be used to create the directories,... However, since I don't have time to learn the 70 or so debhelper tools, this will have to...
Ok, after a bit of research, I think I got it figured out. Would appreciate though if someone/ones could check it out.
Ok, because the source code didn't have a Makefile I had to create one. ...
I have two .deb packages I'd really like to create. They are both real simple (basically putting a couple files in the right directories) and I was hoping to find a simple guide or get a little...
Ah, ha! This is exactly what I was looking for!
My apologies imachavel. Perhaps I should have been more clear. pbrane was right though to figure that I want to prevent a certain new package...
Looked some in the past couple days and wasn't able to find anything. Figuring there is no way for this to be done.
There is a way to "hold" a package:
echo <package name> hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
Unfortunately this solution via Synaptic seems to replicate the same behavior, i.e. I'm still able to...
I need to do this for new package. I do know about holding select packages but this is a program that might regularly be installed freshly by someone and it would be nice to prevent getting...
I'd like to be able to prevent a package from being installed. A certain package is causing problems on my system so I was wondering if there is possibly a way to block a package (to be able to...
Script updated. Change log:
Query option now only returns if package is installed; added additional 'Q | Query' option to get version information along with package name.
Reordered help...
Pretty nice Mr. Anarchy. I wrote one that changes the color ever so minutes. I can be found here:

Haha, got it done. Appreciate the help, particularly you SevenMachines.
I didn't try to reinstall GCC yet, but will keep that in mind for the future (I had previously just installed GCC and this...
Thanks SevenMachines. At the bottom is the output of the attempted compiling of the conftest.c file with the -v/verbose option. I installed GCC 4.4.6 from the repositories and it compiled fine...
I have yet to try Thunderbird, or Evolution but I was hoping to get some opinions hoping to save time of setup. Does anyone use calendar software here that will give the user alerts? I'm looking...
Man Seven this is good thinking and you hit the nail on the head:
# i686-linux-gnu-gcc -Wall -g -O2 -Wl,-z,defs conftest.c
conftest.c:18:2: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
Please...
Good suggestion, SevenMachines. I tried a clean build and your compile method (using debuild) and am getting the same error still.
From the build directory:
grep -Rn qversion ....
Thanks MadCow. I think I see what you mean. I found this:

gcc version 4.6.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3)

Hmm, good thinking with the un-enclosed CFLAGS options. I tried to enclose them in the debian/rules file but they wouldn't get passed on. I'm not sure that is the error though for sure because I...
I'm trying to create a deb package for ntfs-3g that has internal fuse support (this will allow a normal user to mount/unmount a Windows volume from the command line), however I'm getting a configure...
Not sure just what did it, but some preference cause this behavior. Ended up deleting all configurations in my Home folder, deleted everything else (i.e. not Documents, Music...) and got it working...
Another script update. Change log:
Re-ordered to better group similar tasks
Rename ppa adding and subtracting options
Fixed ppa add and subtract not always getting recognized.
This appears to be a problem with Pulse but I'm not entirely sure. I've tried both Banshee and Ario (an MPD audio player) and I'm not getting sound in either. For both, I'll push play but it's not...
Well done, works for me as well. Thank you.
