[SOLVED] 2 packages depend on each other??

[DroidFighter]

When I try to install "libstdc++6-4.3-dev_4.3.2-1.1_i386.deb" it says:
libstdc++6-4.3 depends on g++-4.3 (=4.3.2-1.1)
When I try to install "g++-4.3_4.3.2-1.1_i386.deb" it says:
g++-4.3 depends on libstdc++6-4.3-dev (=4.3.2-1.1)

so now I got 2 packages that I can't install because each one of them depends on the other...
What can I do?

How do you install them? With apt-get?

[DroidFighter]

with dpkg -i

If you want to do it your way see man dpkg and pay attention to --force and --ignore-depends options.

By the way I didnt really get how to use the tips you gave me, in the description they just tell me what the code --ignore and stuff does but with no examples how to use it.

There's no my way. The way you do it depends on needs. If you need to install something you should normally use apt-get, if it's something not in official repo then you need to improvise, add repos or download deb files and install and resolve dependencies manually.

somehow apt-get never worked for me. Every time I tried it it said something is missing so I just used the dpkg command and downloaded deb files directly from the site...

Anyway that's not my problem. My problem is how do I install packages that depend on each other... Still can't figure it out...

apt-get not working points to problems in your system. If it was my box I'd look into this ASAP.

How about experimenting a little with options provided on dpkg man page? Let us know if you need spoon-feeding.

You could try installing them at the same time.

aptitude install package1 package2 ... packageN

I would use aptitude rather than apt-get.

thanks jdk your comment solved my problem, I didn't use aptitude but I installed both with dpkg -i in one command and it worked
