debian: how to install from .deb files, while taking care of dependencies


dpkg -i <file.deb>
apt-get -f install


This will pull in all undsatisfied dependancies or removes the offending package(s)

Note: Works like a charm! Just tried it on "justniffer_0.5.6_i386.deb" from "http://justniffer.sourceforge.net/index.html".
