I don't mind [sarcasm] at all. Especially when it educates and possibly solves a problem.

The dependency problem was that I had a slightly older version than the package "required".
#dpkg -i --force-depends fishy.deb
apparently succeeded.

Would that --force-depends had effect all the way down a chain of dependencies just looking for the latest revision of each?
