This is silly, I should know this.
How do I tell apt-get to forget about a past forced installation.
For example, I install `smtm' from potato on slink. It depends
on perl5 but I know it'll mostly work anyway.
But then, any later usage of apt-get tells me:
# apt-get install eperl
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
smtm: Depends: perl5 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a
solution).
How do I get past it?
