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

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.
