apt-get --force-yes should try harder

[RichardNeill]

Binary package hint: apt

If I run
    apt-get --force-yes install pkg1 pkg2 pkg3 pkg4 .... pkg150
and there is something wrong with pkg73
  (eg "there is no installation candidate")

then I expect apt to try hard, and succeed in installing 149 of my packages, leaving just the one error.
Instead, it bails completely, installing none of them!

IMHO "--force-yes" means "Do exactly what I say, and if there's a problem, ignore it, and *keep going*".

The workaround is gruesome and really slow:
  for pkg in pkg1 pgk2 ....pgk150; do apt-get --force-yes install $pkg; done

This is important, because an automated install could have something critical (eg openssh-server) fail to be installed because of something trivial.

OK. Should probably work.
