I have a dependency problem. One package (sysvinit) depends on another (mini-rc) being configured. Usually, installing in two steps would be enough, but since I'm aiming to do a SSU, I need both installed in one go. If I install both with "dpkg -i mini-rc...deb sysvinit...deb", sysvinit will complain about dependencies and won't install.
Code:
/media/mmc1/dt # dpkg -i *.deb
(Reading database ... 18370 files and directories currently installed.)
...
Preparing to replace mini-rc 0.2.11 (using mini-rc_0.2.11-1_all.deb) ...

dpkg: regarding sysvinit_2.85-22.osso15-dt1_armel.deb containing sysvinit, pre-dependency problem:
sysvinit pre-depends on sysv-rc (>= 2.85-2) | file-rc (>> 0.7.0) | boot-mechanism
mini-rc provides boot-mechanism but is unpacked but not configured.
dpkg: error processing sysvinit_2.85-22.osso15-dt1_armel.deb (--install):
pre-dependency problem - not installing sysvinit

Errors were encountered while processing:

How can I solve this?
