Need advice reinstalling packages and ignoring dependancies
I'm using Debian, and I need to reinstall my libglib 1.2--I think some of the files may have gotten corrupted in the packages.
When I try to apt-get remove them, I get told there's about thirty or forty packages dependant on them, so I'd have to remove them at the same time.
What I want to do is either force apt-get to re-install the packages, ignoring the fact that I already have the newest versions, or else use it to remove the old version temporarily and reinstall without having to remove a zillion other packages.
Can anyone help me out?
