Option -f seems to be accepted only for commands that may involve installing or removing packages. E.g. command "autoclean" merely deletes some .deb files in cache; that has nothing to do with package dependencies. SYNOPSIS in man page does not tell that though. That is not the only inaccuracy of the synopsis: E.g. it does not tell about any options that are defined only as long options, e.g. " --purge".
