How do I replace an installed svgalib1 with svgalib-dummy1? Running "dpkg -i svgalib-dummy1_1.2.10.deb" says this: dpkg: regarding svgalib-dummy1_1.2.10.deb containing svgalib-dummy1: svgalib-dummy1 conflicts with svgalib1 svgalib1 (version 1:1.2.10-4) is installed. dpkg: error processing svgalib-dummy1_1.2.10.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing svgalib-dummy1 Errors were encountered while processing: svgalib-dummy1_1.2.10.deb
And "dpkg --purge svgalib1" complains about a few packages (like gs) that depend on svgalib1... Would: dpkg --force-depends --purge svgalib1 dpkg --install svgalib-dummy1_1.2.10.deb be the right thing to do? (How safe is --force-depends, anyway? Can I safely use it if I check the Depends: lines of the packages manually and see that I have the programs I need?) (I'm in the process of upgrading (via running dpkg -iEG manually on the new packages) from 1.2.9 to the newest frozen. I have dpkg 1.4.0.8 already installed.) -- -=- Rjs -=- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
