Unless there is something other wrong, the above does not
work as intended. Please see the following typescript:

root@pkfp20 [~] # apt-get -q install lintian
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
Sorry, lintian is already the newest version

What I think it should do, is deleting lintian_1.11.4_all.deb.
Here is my apt.conf:

// Options for the downloading routines
Acquire
{
  Queue-Mode "host";       // host|access
  Retries "0";
  
  ftp
  {
    Timeout "30";
    
    /* Passive mode control, proxy, non-proxy and per-host. Pasv mode
       is prefered if possible */
    Passive "false";
  };
  
};

/* Options you can set to see some debugging text They corrispond to names
   of classes in the source code */
Debug 
{
  pkgProblemResolver "true";
  pkgAcquire "false";
  pkgAcquire::Worker "false";
  pkgDPkgPM "false";
  
  pkgInitialize "false";   // This one will dump the configuration space
  NoLocking "false";
  Acquire::Ftp "false";    // Show ftp command traffic
}

DPkg 
{
   Options {"--force-overwrite";}
}

// Pre-configure all packages before they are installed.
// (Automatically added by debconf.)
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt";};
