dkpg not allowing installation of xlib6
How do I solve the following problem?
----------------------------------------------
dpkg -i debian_1.2/xlib6_3.2-1a.deb
dpkg: considering removing xlib in favour of xlib6 ...
Package xlib is on hold, not touching it. Use --force-hold to override.
dpkg: regarding debian_1.2/xlib6_3.2-1a.deb containing xlib6:
xlib6 conflicts with elf-x11r6lib
xlib provides elf-x11r6lib and is installed.
dpkg: error processing debian_1.2/xlib6_3.2-1a.deb (--install):
conflicting packages - not installing xlib6
Errors were encountered while processing:
debian_1.2/xlib6_3.2-1a.deb
----------------------------------------------
Is it safe to use dpkg -i --force-hold in this case?
