Not at all: An apt package is available at alpha.gnu.org, and I think the next version of apt will compile on the Hurd just nicely (if no new icompatibilities are introduced), so this will be resolved rather soon. We can't avoid dangling dependencies as long as we have no X packages in the archive anyway. As long as there is hope that the reference will be satisfied, that's okay (IMHO, I think the packaging/policy manual disagrees, but what the hell). Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
