Use -f instead of --fix-missing to install the dependencies for the target package

I understand that running "apt-get install -y --fix-missing" was intended to fix dependencies that were not installed during the dpkg install, however, --fix-missing is not working in this capacity. Instead I offer the use of '-f' which has gotten me some mileage in facilitating the install of the missing dependencies along with the package that required them. Feel free to shoot me down; I am curious to know if I may be using aminator incorrectly for installing package dependencies.
