problems with apt-get -f install
 

Greetings and thank you for spending your time to look at this


ok as you know that some times after apt-get install (name of file wanted), it tells you this

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

ok so when I do that I get this now

#apt-get -f install

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

ok I tried to rm the file wxwin2.4-headers_2.4.2.6_i386.deb from /var/cache/apt/archives# but when I did the apt-get -f install again it dl it and tired to install it again.

how do I tell apt-get that I do not want to dl this file any more so I can go ahead and use the apt-get -f install? Or is there something else that I should do?

Thank you for your time

Here's my notes on that....
Repair apt-get dependency error: #example libutahglx1
dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libutahglx1
dpkg --configure -a
