A note to the OP. Yet you might not be able to understand the syntax of a man(ual)page, but you need to learn it. Btw. you could use a search engine to do research in the Internet. https://startpage.com/ Search term: apt-get manual > First hit: http://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-get Assumed you're using a GUI web-browser push Ctrl+F Search term: force The first result is: "--force-yes Force yes. This is a dangerous option that will cause apt-get to continue without prompting if it is doing something potentially harmful. It should not be used except in very special situations. Using --force-yes can potentially destroy your system! Configuration Item: APT::Get::force-yes." Go back to the beginning of the website and use the search term: -f The fourth result is: "-f, --fix-broken Fix. Attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place." For research to answer your question yourself, you neither need to understand the syntax of a manpage, nor you need to read the whole text. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
