[Aptitude-devel] Bug#721818: Should allow to install/remove packages even when dependencies are broken

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.8.2-1.2
Severity: normal

There is no way currently to proceed to package (re)installation/remove/purge
if dependencies are broken.

Pressing 'g' only shows the dependency resolution prompt.

When using unstable/experimental I sometimes *need* to break dependencies.

I'd like to have something akin to the "Yes, I am aware this is a very bad
idea" prompt and/or an option to proceed when I'm already in preview and I'm
pressing "g" again.

Thanks.
