This seemed to remove a lot of dependencies. Then when I re-installed the dependencies did not go back in.

Should I do another update-all to make sure all packages are current?

Good news:  you are absolutiely right, everything is built, and you just
have to do some tweaking to get orbit installed.

You can try uninstalling orbit by force using

dpkg --remove --force-depends orbit

then install orbit-bin

Can anyone help me with the following error:

I have just left the MAC running and update-all (First since switching
on compille from source) and after about 6 hours hit the above error.

I am assuming that the succesfully compiled packages will remain intact
and the next update-all will only attempt to continue once the above
conflict is resolved (someone tell me this is correct :)
