Bug#72168: apt: new option: ignore

[Ulf Jaenicke-Roessler <ujr@physik.phy.tu-dresden.de>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: wishlist

Hi,
 I hope I did not overlook such an (already existing) option,
 but I think it would be useful to have an option, which ignores
 unmet dependencies and calls dpkg --force-depends.
 Currently, apt-get stops immediately, if there are unmet dependencies.

 Thanks,
  Ulf
