New subject: [SLE] How to trick APT into believing a dependency is met?

26 Apr 2005

      I installed 'limewire' from rbos apt repository, onto my 9.2 system.
Its an older package made for 9.1 (i think) so i had to download the package 
manually and use rpm to get it installed as it has a dependency for j2re, and 
9.2 is called 'java-1_4_2-sun'

as soon as i try using apt now i get:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get --fix-broken install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  LimeWire-free: Depends: j2re (>= 1.4.1) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get --fix-broken install' with no packages (or 
specify a solution).

How do i make apt "ignore" limewire? 
Or better yet; or how do i set a "link" from j2re to 'java-1_4_2-sun' for the 
next install that needs j2re?
