I'm using Kubuntu 12.04 (64bit). The Ubuntu repos contain gpt fdisk 8.1 which is not the latest. The latest version is 8.4 and it contains some bug fixes I want to have.

I downloaded the latest deb package from here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/srs5694/xUbuntu_11.10/amd64/gptfdisk_0.8.4-1_amd64.deb

When I tried to install it initially, I got an error that dependencies could not be satisfied. So I installed the version from the repos first, then tried to install the latest version over that. Now I get the error below.

# dpkg -i gptfdisk_0.8.4-1_amd64.deb 

Selecting previously unselected package gptfdisk.

How can I install 8.4 of gpt fdisk?
