Re: Force install of deb even though missing dependency

[Aidan Gauland]

If you force dpkg to install a package, you may end up with a fubared system 
later, because it could screw up package management for the entire system. 
I'd recommend finding a package that you don't have to force install.  The 
force install option is only there as a last resort (see 
<http://people.debian.org/~osamu/pub/getwiki/html/ch03.en.html> ;) ).
