I have a great audio mixer software (FFADO-mixer) for firewire pro audio cards/interfaces installed via Synaptic from the Ubuntu Repos.
But, it's an outdated package and the newer version works better and has bug fixes. I've gotten the newer version to build using scons, however, the older Synaptic version is still on the computer and clashes with the new self built version making it not run.
A dev from FFADO (who made this mixer) says that I should install OVER the version by Synaptic which replaces each file with new. How can I make sure this happens instead of the side by side version clash I'm currently getting.
NOTE: I could just apt remove purge the old install, but... I can't do that because it has components necessary for the passing of audio between Jack (an audio server for Linux) and the hardware.
So I need to keep some of its components. I just can't have the side by side of two versions. It seems the best way is to install the new packages (self built using scons) over the old version (from Synaptic). But how?
