As the original poster... My god, you guys have a phenomenal ability to discourage useful bug reports. Back when I reported the initial problem, I had been using nothing other than "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade". About 200 years later [note: intentional sarcasm; you may not understand it], you find that the world has changed, so the bug reporters must be stupid.
Nolo contendre. I like Ubuntu as a distro, but, maybe, it is not so good as a community. So how do I get my email address off of this now insipid bug report? -- Broken dependency in build-essential for AMD64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360550 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
