Hello,
I am wondering whether in debian's apt or dpkg have the "nodependecies" switch available while installing packages as with RH's rpm..

Code:

rpm -ivh foobar.rpm --nodeps

help.Thanks

dpkg --force-depends -i foobar.deb
Discaimer: dpkg is probably a lot smarter than you when it comes to package management...you've been warned.

is it be useful if we want to remove any package without having dependecy mess.
EDIT:just found soltn

Code:

sarge:~# dpkg --purge  --ignore-depends=locales locales

the option is --ignore-depends=package name.
Thanks t All.
