Hello folks: I needed to install jdk 1.3 from sun from source, because nothing over 1.1 exists as a deb, anywhere I looked (within Debian). To do that, I had to do a force-depends remove with dpkg, to get rid of the old jdk. Now, any time I attempt to use apt or dpkg, I get told that dpkg can't access the archive; or a warning from apt, that I need to run apt-get -f install. I know what packages are broken, and all but one can be removed. However, if I remove the last one, I'll have to install (from source) a new, non-apt, copy. Is there any other way to get apt to "forget" this situation, without having to remove the tomcat package, and install a non-tracked version? Thanks Luke
