I just took a look at your patch for the assertion failure for packages with dependency loops. It indeed seems to work correctly when installing such pacakges, but when removing them the problem still exists:
tornado:/home/wichert# ./dpkg --purge pkg1 pkg2 dpkg: ../../../main/packages.c:191: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. Aborted Looks like the real fix still needs to be found :( Wichert. -- ============================================================================== This combination of bytes forms a message written to you by Wichert Akkerman.
