Thanks.

No. You'll have to do something like:

Code:

apt-get install -f

. I don't remember the exact command.

Alternatively, if you install aptly from extras-testing, you can just do "aptly install <deb file>" and it will install dependencies for you. The only dependency for aptly is python, so if you have that installed, you could technically just "dpkg -i aptly-*.deb"
