I also need it very rarely. But right now I want to install a newer version of a package and break some other dependencies (without uninstalling them as aptitude recommends). I dropped to dpkg in the past, but in some situations it's just way easier to use aptitude. > But since aptitude saves your current state of planned actions (unless > you quit it with Ctrl-C), it's easy to call "dpkg --remove > --force-depends" without losing your planned actions. Does running dpkg --force-depends keep the auto state of the packages in this case? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
