F != fix broken...

- -f == force

If you spend any time in Debian's IRC they pretty much tell you NEVER
use -f. NO system is that far gone to not be fixed by the other means
Lisa mentioned. Dpkg is the package manager, dselect is another low end
function and APT/itude is a front end would I've never had fail me. If
you start with apt get you have to stay with it. IF you start with
Aptitude manuals say to stay with it.

Too many horror stories on Synaptic. The only GUI package manager I have
had that worked every time was in Sabayon, and it is called Entropy, IIRC.
