Apt-get :: Apt-get doesn't work properly

heh, read the above posts again...

If you wish to force it, you can try that as well...

Sorry, can't understand your point. Could you please explain it to me?
Thanks.

If a debian package does not want to load due to dependency problems, you can force it to load by typing something like "dpkg -i --force-all mypackage.deb"

Thanks. But in this case I could break something in the system or package install. Am I wrong? Anyway, you can force using dpkg. What about apt-get?

The beauty of dsl is that if you break something, you can just reboot and everything will be OK (except on a traditional hd install).

If you use apt-get and the installation fails, the deb package will be somewhere in /var/apt/cache (or something like that) and you can use "dpkg -i force-all" on it. Otherwise, the apt command should be "apt-get -o APT::Get::force-yes install packagename", but I don't remember if this works or not.
