apt* just `cope' with this problem by running dpkg with --force options. Ie, they decide that you didn't mean what you said. > The upgrade works if you upgrade a bunch of packages together, not one > by one. It is not possible with dpkg to install several packages `together'. If you think you need this then you have misunderstood your upgrade path. > I don't think upgrades using only dpkg are supported. dpkg is the tool used by all higher-level programs to do installation. If it can't be done by dpkg with the command line then it can't be done at all. Ian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
