I do not know how to make apt-get force stuff but dpkg --force-depends will force the instllation even if the dependencies are broken. dpkg --force-help dpkg forcing options - control behaviour when problems found: warn but continue: --force-<thing>,<thing>,... stop with error: --refuse-<thing>,<thing>,... | --no-force-<thing>,... Forcing things: all Set all force options auto-select [*] (De)select packages to install (remove) them downgrade [*] Replace a package with a lower version configure-any Configure any package which may help this one hold Process incidental packages even when on hold bad-path PATH is missing important programs, problems likely not-root Try to (de)install things even when not root overwrite Overwrite a file from one package with another overwrite-diverted Overwrite a diverted file with an undiverted version bad-verify Install a package even if it fails authenticity check depends-version [!] Turn dependency version problems into warnings depends [!] Turn all dependency problems into warnings confnew [!] Always use the new config files, don't prompt confold [!] Always use the old config files, don't prompt confdef [!] Use the default option for new config files if one is available, don't prompt.

Forcing options marked [*] are enabled by default. many times in the past I had to use dpkg manually to install some packages. When using apt-get to update your system you will expierence problems if there are unmet dependencies. Though I never did this, you could probably edit the files in /var/lib/apt/lists/ and /var/lib/dpkg/available to reflect the dependences of the package that is broken.
