I've guessed that there must be something in other systems, but never bothered to figure it out. RPM's --force always seemed to work good enough, and I haven't used debian enough to need to. It would've surprised me if a system as comprehensive as apt didn't have a mechanism for it. -- Respectfully, Nicholas Leippe Sales Team Automation, LLC 1335 West 1650 North, Suite C Springville, UT 84663 +1 801.853.4090 http://www.salesteamautomation.com .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
