Tried gdebi with my test case, ggebi does not prevent this problem, it will not ask to remove packages which will get broken after the package install.<br>Wouldn't it be safer to prevent this type of operation (broking packagings) by requesting a "--force" switch with "dpkg -i" ?
<br>If it is not reasonable to handle this at "dpkg" I will create a feature request for gdebi.<br><br>Thanks<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2007/10/7, Emmet Hikory <<a href="mailto:emmet.hikory@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
