Can you give me the correct syntax for the dpkg command to install
openssh-client and server with the --force-all option?

the command is

dpkg -i --force-all /path/to/openssh=client.deb

the .deb is probably located in /var/cache/apt/archives

don't do this lightly. forcing things can break them. find out why its
doing it and make sure you understand the risks before you issue that
command.
