Re: [Trisquel-users] "-dev" shotgun approach ?

[nowaman]

What I used to do was download the .deb, type dpkg -i package.deb and if it  
fails, I'd aptitude it's dependencies. apt-get -f install or --fix-missing  
might also do the trick,
but if you have a more sophisticated way in mind, please share it:)
"I was thinking about switching to Arch"
Well you're free to do so, but you might want to check out Parabola  
GNU/Linux. It's like Arch, but ./configure --enable-freedom ;)
