Hi, I want to explain the scenario below in case it brings any confusion. Please see blue. Scenario: 1) install app_A I installed app_A by double-clicking the .deb file I got on local machine 2) install app_A_patch that depends on app_A I got another .deb that can patch app_A, which I named it 'app_A_patch'. If you run 'sudo dpkg -l | grep app_' , you will see two records -- 'app_A' and 'app_A_patch' both installed. 3) install new version app_B ( the .deb file is on local and user tyies to double-click it to do upgrading) Now I have a new version of app_A (it should not be named app_B, maybe just NEW app_A here) 4) Software Center pop-ups and gives prompt that "Breaks existing dependency ......" and upgrading failed I assumed Software Center could install new app_A for me. I can choose to upgrade the app_A_patch later or uninstall it if I want. Dpkg could do this for me whereas Software Center can't.
