That's what it's for.
This should be the last one should try, e.g. break the things with dpkg -i and then try to fix them with apt-get install -f, what if you have just broke apt ... yes I know one can handle that, but why spending extra time in a-la rpm hell [tm] situations, which could be avoided easily... The right way [tm] is to place the resulting deb in a local apt repo and install & whatever from there exploring the advantages of apt. That's what it's for. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <keyserver.bu.edu ; pgp.mit.edu> fingerprint 1AE7 7C66 0A26 5BFF DF22 5D55 1C57 0C89 0E4B D0AB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
