Something wrong, and it's not possible to go on unless I magically figure out which packages may have problems with pre-depends. Would be neat to give a flag to make apt burp up some internal debug info, at least giving some hints what do look for, or what to fix. If you believe this is none of apt's business, and this is not a bug, please close this, but I believe Joe User would get stuck here. /etc/apt/* and /var/lib/dpkg/status is stored for your optional enjoyment, you only have to ask for it. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux Yikes 2.4.16 #2 Wed Dec 5 16:48:27 CET 2001 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=hu_HU Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.2.5-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-3 The GNU stdc++ library
