Hi,
sometimes for testing purpose, I'd like to install packages with debi even if
all dependencies are not resolved. Then i use dpkg -i --force-depends instead
../package.deb instead of debi because it does not pass --force-* options to
dpkg.
It would be nice to pass some options, or maybe all unknown options to debpkg.

regards,
arno

Does «debi --with-depends …» not work?

I wasn't aware of --with-depends (it's not documented in the manual).
It's a really nice option but unfortunately, it won't work with my specific
use case:
I have multiple custom packages, not uploaded to a repository.
