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

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.Quote:

You could try installing them at the same time.Quote:
