For the past week or so, I'm trying to install **Kile** in Debian 7.3 kde desktop *after* installing TexLive 2013 from a CTAN mirror (downloading the installer in a home directory, decompressing it in install-tl-20140123 and launching the /.install-tl). I had installed perl-tk but apparently it doesn't work when called by /.install-tl so I had to make-do with the text interface. I installed a small version of TeXLive (13 or so packages for a tot of ~730MB). Now, when I go to install Kile from Synaptick Package Manager I get many packages automatically ticked for installation including texlive-common,texlive-base, luatex. From what I've read on the Internet, I need to fool the system into believing it already has those packages by creating so-called dummy packages so the system only installs Kile. Is there someone who has a **correct** and easy guide on how to do so?
