which files you'd need to edit to change the package status to 'not installed'
at a command prompt:
echo refractasnapshot hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
then, if you're inclined to verify status change, search inside /var/lib/dpkg/status ("status" is a plaintext file) for "refractasnapshot.
What you'll see is:
Status: hold ok installed
I really wouldn't (don't) hand-edit the status file, and seldom **** with putting a "hold" on a given package. Pinning yes, hold no.
Instead, I refer to the installed files manifest, thwak most or all of 'em... and dpkg can just go on believing the package is installed.
Nightchild, I agree that it "seems like a bug" when the installer creates a redundant swap partition.
Seems?
IS !
Every time the installer has caught me offguard... it's created the extra swap partition on the same physical disk containing the existing swap. Senseless.
The same is for refractainstaller when installing the live-cd. How can I prevent this.
The script pauses, inviting you to make changes (edit excludes_list, etc) Yes?
At that point, you can edit / weed out files from work_dir then resume the snapshot script.
