Hi all,

I maintaining my Debian Lenny installation using aptitude. Does anybody
know how to force the installation of a package that conflicts with other packages?

I have installed the conflicting package using
Code:
dpkg --force-conflicts -i *.deb
but this makes both aptitude and UpdateManager unhappy (in the sense that
both ask me to fix broken dependencies and will not do anything before I comply).

I'm hoping that if I install the package via aptitude I can somehow let aptitude
know that I am OK with this dependency conflict.

cheers, kai
