I've had that problem quite a bit, where things require lib6g, or standard lib6.. and I've had the other installed. (Depends which system I'm on).
Anyways... I have found you can force the install... and in every case to date.. its worked fine. Try this... dpkg --force-depends -i package.deb So far.. I have been able to install all packages that require the reciprical of what I have .. and I have yet to come across a problem. Some die-hards will say this insn't all to clean, but as I have stated.. it works fine on about 4 different machines I've done it on. Paolo M.
