Good one :) Dear Ganesh Apt has a role to perform thats resolving dependencies . dpkg on the other hand can be used to install plackages but still it asks for dependent packages. you could use It has a option --ignore-depends=packagename Ignore dependency-checking for specified packages (actually, checking is performed, but only warnings about conflicts are given, nothing else). Having said that like all the people I would still suggest you not to mess up with your machine by avoiding some packages . do you have an internet connection problem or something is wrong with apt configuration . First fix that issue by wither getting an offline repo or asking the exact issue .
