How do I tell Aptitude to Ignore a Broken Package?



All,

I've installed anjuta from unstable on my testing box using 'dpkg
--ignore-depends anjuta'.  Of course, 'aptitude upgrade' throws a
dependency error so I'm unable to upgrade.  Is there an elegant way to
tell aptitude to ignore the broken dependency?  I suppose I could
edit /var/lib/dpkg/status and remove the dependency, but that seems like
a super-kludge.

Thoughts?

-Jeff
