The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Odd. I can't reproduce this:

One way of doing it: install both quake and quake-lib at once:

# dpkg -i quake_1.01-3_i386.deb quake-lib_1.01-2_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package quake.
(Reading database ... 24221 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking quake (from quake_1.01-3_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking quake-lib (from quake-lib_1.01-2_i386.deb) ...
Setting up quake-lib (1.01-2) ...
Setting up quake (1.01-3) ...
[...]

#

That worked fine.

Another way to do it: --force-depends

# dpkg --force-depends -i
quake_1.01-3_i386.deb   
Selecting previously deselected package quake.
(Reading database ... 24221 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking quake (from quake_1.01-3_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: quake: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you request:
 quake depends on quake-lib (>= 1.01) | quake-lib-stub; however:
  Package quake-lib is not installed.
  Package quake-lib-stub is not installed.
 quake depends on quake-lib (<< 1.02) | quake-lib-stub; however:
  Package quake-lib is not installed.
  Package quake-lib-stub is not installed.
Setting up quake (1.01-3) ...
[..]

# dpkg --force-depends -i quake-lib_1.01-2_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package quake-lib.
(Reading database ... 24231 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking quake-lib (from quake-lib_1.01-2_i386.deb) ...
Setting up quake-lib (1.01-2) ...
#

That seemed to work ok too. How did you try to do it?
