Swapping dependencies
On one of my machines, I initially installed ssmtp and I now want to replace
it with exim. However...
dpkg -i exim...deb
fails because exim conflicts with ssmtp and
dpkg --purge ssmtp
fails because various other packages depend on mail-transport-agent...
I know I can use dpkg's 'force' options to override these complaints, but is
there a better way to perform this sort of replacement?
