[Bug 1255806] Re: apt-get --purge -yf build-dep hello, fails with E: Command line option ‘f’ [from -yf] is not known.

[Michael Vogt]

Hey  Dmitrijs,

thanks for your bugreport. The "-f" flag means "--fix-broken" and is not
used by apt the context of build-dep. This is why its complaining. If it
breaks sbuild we can add it back, but note that it does not have any
effect AFAICT (looking at the apt source).

Title:
  apt-get --purge -yf build-dep hello, fails with E: Command line option
  ‘f’ [from -yf] is not known.

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  apt-get --purge -yf build-dep hello, fails with E: Command line option
  ‘f’ [from -yf] is not known.

  this thus breaks sbuild cross-builds. another regression ?
