Hello Matthias, I don't know whether the packages above fixed the problem, but certainly the circular depdendency still exists in Debian. python-central: Depends: python (>= 2.3) python: Depends: python2.3 (>= 2.3.5-14) python2.3: Depends: python-central (>= 0.4.12) Cheers, -- Bill. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Imagine a large red swirl here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
