more info. as you can see from the two packages "gcj-common" and one other which are listed as "no longer needed" in the typescript, that was what remained of the "tasksel install xfce-desktop" which resulted in the conflicting upgrade on debian/lenny.
so, presumably, by doing "apt-get install build-essential {tasks_from_xfce-desktop}" you would repro the cock-up. maybe not. but, the tasksel install xfce-desktop was done first; then and only then was apt-get build-essential done, and that's what screwed up. l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
