I am using Ubuntu 18.04. My coding project needs cmake 3.18 support, so I do a manual compile and install. Now I want to remove version 3.10 that came as a dependency from another package, WITHOUT removing said package. Is there a way?

What i found so far was a way to prevent the install of cmake via apt, but I do not know if this helps me here: How to forbid a specific package to be installed?

Thanks!

    Why do you need to remove the 3.10 version? what specific problem are you trying to solve? – steeldriver Sep 13 '20 at 11:43
  • I think I was looking for a way to only have the one, true version installed. I do not trust unix to always find the version I want, when there are different version available. I also want to find packages that hardcoded call for a specific version for example. – Florian Berchtold Sep 22 '20 at 19:24
