Description: Circumventing Debian package dependencies
This is a dummy package that makes Debian's package management
system believe that equivalents to packages on which other
packages do depend on are actually installed.
.
Deinstallation of this package is only possible when all pending
dependency issues are properly resolved in some other way. A more
brutal approach for it's deinstallation is to create and install
'equivs' configured using an empty "/etc/equivs.conf" (or simply
delete it) to remove all of the existing dependencies with any
installed package on the system.
.
Please note that this is a crude hack and if thoughtlessly used
might possibly do damage to your packaging system. And please
note as well that using it is not the recommended way of dealing
with broken dependencies. Better file a bug report instead.
