Hi All...<br>
<br>
I have a working Debian Sarge (stable) server running Apache 2 and the
<br>
stable Debian RT package, 3.4.1-2. When I attempt to upgrade to the
latest <br>
package (3.4.4-2 from unstable) I see that there appear to be dependency
<br>
errors, such that it wants to install Apache.<br>
<br>
Can someone suggest a way to get around this? Would it be easier
to dump <br>
Apache2 and move to Apache?<br>
<br>
Better yet, is there a way to move to 3.4.5 without taking RT off package
<br>
management?<br>
<br>
Thanks...</tt></font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Download the .deb file and do a "dpkg
--force-depends -i <package>". It's a dirty hack which
in this case won't hurt too much. You *can*, however, royally screw
things up with non-judicious use of dpkg --force-<things> so beware.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">There are other slightly cleaner (and
more complicated) ways of doing this, but for one package with few dependencies
that will work. Of course, installing from source is your best bet
here as RT doesn't appear to be updated for security very often.</font>
