Hi Matthew , Thank you for your response ! I mean I double clicked the .deb files on local machine, then Software Center will pop-up and take up the install/upgrading process, right ? The Software Center seems to do dependency checking first located in /var/info/dpkg/status. The install will fail if other app depends on app_A. The scenario is as below and hope it helps. 1) install app_A 2) install app_A_patch that depends on app_A 3) install new version app_B ( the .deb file is on local and user tyies to double-click it to do upgrading) 4) Software Center pop-ups and gives prompt that "Breaks existing dependency ......" and upgrading failed I wonder why I can use dpkg tool to do upgrading, like 'sudo dpkg -i app_B' and seems dpkg can handle the dependency stuff and do upgrading for me. Thanks again ! --
