The fedora phasex rpm works fine after installing in Minime with rpm -i --nodeps.
Synaptic then complains about needing older jackd and libsamplerate versions,
although it works fine with the newer ones in the repository. Is there a way to
edit the rpm, or tell synaptic to believe its not broken?

Thanks for any tips on packaging rpms (its pretty trivial to uninstall and reinstall
to allow normal occasional use of synaptic)

You can hide the package from Synaptic by typing in a terminal in su root mode rpm -e --justdb name-of-package


Thanks to everyone who donates. You keep the servers running.
