get the deb for it.

dpkg -i --ignore-depends=<package> package.deb

where <package> in this instance would be the package you want to
ignore xfree86-common for example.

:> Hi all,
:>
:> I just tried to apt-get install slapd (OpenLDAP server) on a debian
:> production server. Debian then wants to install an xfree86-common,
:> which I obviously don't want on a server.
:>
:> (slapd depends on libiodbc2 depends on xlibs..... xfree86-common).
:>
:> Now, I know the way I'll be using slapd doesn't *really* depend on
:> libiodbc2. Is there a simple way to tell apt-get this?
:>
:> (I guess I could get the source and change the
:> dependencies manually
:> but that sounds really icky.)
:>
:> Cheers,
