There is no such package in the whole wide Debian world. Which package exactly were you trying to install? None of the three hotfixes has such a dependency: > Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.3), xlib6g (>= 3.3.6) | xlibs | libxmu6, libqt3-mt (>= 3.3.4), libstdc++6 The package "libtqt3-mt" does exist in Etch. > I > thought, fuck it, Opera didn't need that package yesterday so it won't > need it today and forced the installation of opera using dpkg's -f > option. All went fine and Opera works. Forcing something should be the last resort. You first should have looked around in the web and post into the Blog[0] to clear things up. > Then I wanted to install stuff using aptitude, and upon hitting 'g', > aptitude dutifully informed me that opera was broken and insisted on its > removal. Is there a possibility to flag a package to apt as "it works, > so leave it alone and stop bitching"? Maybe the following? # aptitude keep-all Regards, Mathias [0] http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/ -- debian/rules
