apt-get remove /*--nodeps brscan4*/
apt-get install brscan4

I think you can use --ignore-depends with dpkg also.

    I want to get rid of this:



    wayne@8-Core:~$ sudo dpkg -C

    The following packages are in a *mess* due to serious problems
    during
    installation.  They must be reinstalled for them (and any packages
    that depend on them) to function properly:
    * brscan4              Brother Scanner Driver*

    dpkg: error: you must specify packages by their own names, not by

    Any Ideas?*
