Hrm.. The only possiblity I can see off hand is if you have 'just enough' packages to configure that APT spills the command line and inadvertantly splits the gnobra-dev/gnome-dev configures. It would be quite an extrodinary circumstance though. You need to get someone to capture the output of: apt-get install <stuff> -o Debug::pkgDpkgPm=true -o Dir::Bin::dpkg=true For this situation. > which (as I understand it) should cause apt to have dpkg unpack and > configure these packages in one go (as with other cyclic dependencies, e.g. > g++ and libstdc++-dev). Erm, having devel library packages depend on each other is really wacky, the actual libraries can't actually be cyclic like that so it's somewhat irrational to have libraries depend cyclicly on each other.. I guess this is because you've bundled alot of -devel stuff for alot of libraries and created this artificial situation. Jason
