Re: How do I blacklist a package?

Hello Stefan,

I have no knowledge of this matter, but from what I understand from sse2-support package page (1), by forbidding its installation you will get rid of your error message without being rid of the error: that is précisely its purpose to warn you, by failing to install, that a package that has a dependancy on the sse2-support package needs your processor to support SSE2.
I suppose you could then, by forbidding sse2-support package install, authorize the install of a package that depends on it (apt redpends sse2-support should give you a list of candidates) and the executable could crash, run slowly, or worse: fail silently by giving you results that seem right but are wrong.
