I agree to that. Thats why i reported a wish list item for dpkg a while ago, that I would like to see a on-demand-installation during configuration stage. Hopefully at some point in the future, someone will take this into eye. > configuration. As far as I know this is impossible however as dpkg will > only run once, and the lock is already held by the first installation > (for the package that ran dbconfig-common). *Currently* it is not possible, because you cannot run two apt/dpkg instances at a time, but even if you were able to do so, that would not be an ideal solution. It should be much better to just implement it into dpkg but then again it is not, because dpkg is not able to fetch packages. So: Eventually call apt(itude|-get) nevertheless? Uh, it would make things a lot easier, if apti(itude|-get) and dpkg would be glued together more tight.
