No: I do not want dependencies to be INSTALLED before unpacking anything. I want them CHECKED: are the dependencies for each package specified on the command line already installed or also specified on the the command line. If so, install out of sequence. If not, stop (by default, unless -forced). It's fair to say this will break other things. Didn't somebody ask for apt to be able to directly install a deb? That would work too. Me, I'm just using temporary apt repositories. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
