Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: wishlist
Context: installing mozilla packages from pandora/~robot101
Unpacking mozilla-browser (from
.../mozilla-browser_1%3a0.9.1-1.crypto.1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/mozilla-browser_1%3a0.9.1-1.crypto.1_i386.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libdbm.a', which is also in package libgdbmg1-dev
Then as a temporary fix for the conflict, I want to remove
libgdbmg1-dev, but can't seem to be able to do that with apt-get:
# apt-get -f remove libgdbmg1-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
mozilla: Depends: mozilla-browser (= 1:0.9.1-1.crypto.1) but it is not going
to be installed
mozilla-mailnews: Depends: mozilla-browser (= 1:0.9.1-1.crypto.1) but it is
not going to be installed
mozilla-psm: Depends: mozilla-browser (= 1:0.9.1-1.crypto.1) but it is not
going to be installed
mozilla-xmlterm: Depends: mozilla-browser (= 1:0.9.1-1.crypto.1) but it is
not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a
solution).
It seems I have to use "dpkg -r", and then "apt-get -f" to have things
done. I guess such a thing should be possible to fix within apt
itself, and probably it can't be done without allowing several
commands on the same line.

No, of course not. That is not what you asked for.
You asked 'how do I make apt remove something when I have packages in an
inconsistant state'. You do that by specifying an exact solution on the
command line using a combination of +/- post-fix operators. You specified
an inexact solution, so it told you so and gave up.
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).
Even so, package ordering may prevent you from ever accomplishing what you
want without using dpkg.

You can always use minus postfixes.
