Re: [courier-users] Courier-IMAP and MySQL problem

This is a MIME GnuPG-signed message. If you see this text, it means that
your E-mail or Usenet software does not support MIME signed messages.
The Internet standard for MIME PGP messages, RFC 2015, was published in 1996.
To open this message correctly you will need to install E-mail or Usenet
software that supports modern Internet standards.

And those who know what they're doing almost never use the --force option,
instead choosing to fix the underlying dependency conflict.

--force is to be used only as a result of a packaging error that you are
aware of, and understand.

If you do not understand the actual, underlying reason behind the dependency
conflict that prevents a package from installing normally, using --force has
little chance of succeeding; at best you'll be fooled into thinking that
everything worked, because the software superficially appears to be working.
Yet, it's only a matter of time before something bites you in the ass.
