Aptitude installs i3 over the top of i3-gaps #34

As the title suggests, I can install i3-gaps with your tool but once I run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade the system reinstalls i3 over the top. Do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this?

Thanks for the great package, by the way!

Hi JMMackenzie,

I don't know your system (nor the branch you 're using to build i3-gaps with this tool), but I guess that the version of your package manager is simply greater then the version you're building yourself with i3-gaps-deb.

So, if you're using the "gaps" branch, than switching to "gaps-next" (inside of i3-gaps-deb) might solve your problem.

Otherwise, using APT's pinning facilities might help you out: https://wiki.debian.org/AptConfiguration#apt_preferences_.28APT_pinning.29

Cheers.

Thanks, using gaps-next solved this issue.
