Currently I am running Wheezy 32-bit, and recently I installed FreeSWITCH from the official repos. However, I realized that for the purpose I had in mind, I needed to rebuild FreeSWITCH myself, from source, which is somewhat newer than the binary release no. installed.

Just to be sure that I can reinstall/reuse the FreeSWITCH binaries from official repos at a later date, without having to fetch the package .deb files again (which took quite a while on my slow connection) — I wanted to thus uninstall, while keeping the package files in apt cache. How can I achieve this ?

Also, the FreeSWITCH package installation was done using a meta-package (i.e. “freeswitch-meta-vanilla”) which pulled in all the other FreeSWITCH package. Would I need to perform this uninstall differently ?
