Question on dependencies

[Mike Dresser <mdresser_l@windsormachine.com>]

I'm doing the ssh updates on a potato machine here, and running into
problems, due to having to use lilo out of woody.

pellusbackup:~# apt-get install ssh

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  lilo: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4) but 2.1.3-20 is to be installed
  ssh: Depends: libssl0.9.6 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).

How do I override the lilo dependency on 2.2.4-4 that it doesn't actually
need in this case?

I tried to hold it and/or libc in dselect, got no where.  Apt-get doesn't
seem to have a way to hold something.

I suspect I'll have to redownload the lilo deb from woody, uninstall lilo,
install my ssh updates, then dpkg --force-depends -i lilo*.deb ?
