    Exclamation Unbroken Broken Package ???

    Hi guys,
    I installed Debian on my computer again (this time forever I think), and I grabbed a deb to install rhide (a C, C++ IDE thing), when I installed it it gives me an error saying that I have unmet dependencies on a package called

    Code:
    xlibs (>> 4.1.0)
    but rhide works fine without this package. I'm all well for now other than if i clean my installaion errors It'll remove rhide. Can anyone please tell me make this package unremovable or some trick to make this package immune to this

    Code:
    apt-get -f install
    Thanks in advance

    I once created a dummy package with the unexistant dependencie to keep APT happy, I don't if this is the best way to do it, but it worked

    You need to edit some file on the .deb file, BTW, it is an ar file with three tarballs inside
