"Fixing" dependency problems with some sort of alias?

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

With gaim being broken indefinitely, I thought I'd give ymessenger a try.
I'm running unstable so there's a dependency issue with the install
(libssl0.9.6 is required but I have libssl0.9.7). I used --ignore-depends
on the dpkg install command to get ymessenger installed and it works fine.

But apt-get notices the problem and wants to fix it. Is there anyway that
I can tell apt-get to just ignore the problem, just alias libssl0.9.7
as libssl0.9.6 or something like that?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
