** How to override a layer package?
To replace a package that is installed and configured by a layer, without
losing the layer's configuration for that package, add the package to your
=dotspacemacs-additional-packages= with the =:location= keyword set to the
value =local=:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(package-name :location local)
#+end_src
The package should reside at =<layer>/local/<package>/= (this could be a
symbolic link to the real package (repo) directory). The package will still
get configured (but not loaded) by the layer. To load the package, require it
from your =dotspacemacs/user-config=: =(require 'package-name)=. In this way
you can easily switch between the custom version and the version configured by
the layer by commenting in/out the line in =dotspacemacs-additional-packages=
(to restore deferred loading also comment out the =require= form in
=dotspacemacs/user-config=).

You could also fully replace (i.e. overwrite) the layer version of the package
by using a Quelpa recipe with the pseudo-fetcher =local= as described [[https://develop.spacemacs.org/doc/LAYERS.html#packagesel][here]] and
[[https://github.com/quelpa/quelpa#file][here]].

** Disable a package completely?
To completely disable a package and effectively uninstalling it even if it is
part of your used layers, look for the variable =dotspacemacs-excluded-packages=
