    Force installation of debian package - false error message

    Please ignore - I want to delete it but can't

    Hi I'm trying to install Epsons iscan software for an Epson DX4400 MFP.

    I need to install 3 packages:

    iscan data - this must be first otherwise the following files have dependency errors
    iscan
    iscan plugin for the specific model.

    The first 2 install fine with the Qapt package installer. However, the 3rd won't as I get an error "An older version is available in a software channel". I know there isn't as it's only available via download. In an attempt to clear the error I uncheck everything in Muon. I then try to install and get the error message "A newer version is available in a software channel" - Yes, it now says "newer"! It makes no sense at all to me.

    Can someone please advise me how I can force the system to let me install this package?

    Many thanks
