It seems that most affected by this bug are trying to install the Canon Pixma-series drivers. I've got mine working, and here's how I did it:
1. Add the line deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric main to your /etc/apt/sources.list 2. Run sudo apt-get update DO NOT APT-GET UPGRADE. I don't know what it'll do, but you may end up reverting a good chunk of your system's packages manually. 3. Run Code: sudo apt-get install dpkg 4. Go into Synaptic (System-Administration-Synaptic Package Manager), search for dpkg. Select dpkg. 5. Under "Package," choose "Lock Version." 6. Remove or comment out the oneiric line from your /etc/apt/sources.list 7. Run sudo apt-get update again. 8. In the install.sh script from the Canon drivers, change dpkg -iG to dpkg -iG --force-all Unpleasant side-effect: dpkg will detect those packages as broken, so update-manager tosses up errors once in a while. I'm willing to live with that if I can print. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/767634 Title: dpkg regression --force-depends -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
