I have found two workarounds: a) Install miscfiles before the 900+ other DebianParl packages. b) Install apt-utils before all of the 900+ DebianParl packages. Perhaps what triggers (my incarnation of) this bug is that the APT resolver encountered a dependency loop and broke it by configuring packages in different order than it would in simpler situations: Configuring dictionaries-common before any wordlist is configured. What helped me find these workarounds was this message during a simple install of miscfiles: Setting up dictionaries-common (1.12.11) ... update-default-wordlist: apt-utils is not installed. Delay settings until wordlist elements are configured. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
