After downloading the packages from the ppa (I didn't want to include
the ppa in my repositories) I did a dpkg -i <cheese package names>

In detail, after downloading the amd64 bit packages from the ppa into a
local directory, (I wasn't interested int he dev packages)

sudo apt-get remove cheese cheese-common libcheese-gtk21 libcheese3

(below is all one line)

sudo dpkg -i
cheese_3.5.1-0ubuntu3~201206171022+git4558781~precise1_amd64.deb
libcheese-gtk21_3.5.1-0ubuntu3~201206171022+git4558781~precise1_amd64.deb libcheese3_3.5.1-0ubuntu3~201206171022+git4558781~precise1_amd64.deb
cheese-common_3.5.1-0ubuntu3~201206171022+git4558781~precise1_all.deb

(Note - dpkg is the basic command for adding and removing packages -
other programs like aptitude and apt-get and gdebi are built around it
and provide more functionality)

I hope the above helps, if not, send me another email.

Cheers and good luck,

Kim
