A number of packages have circular dependancies. These have to be resolved manually by either temporarily using packages built elsewhere or by manually building parts of a package to solve the dependancies. You better have a good understanding of the debian packaging system and how dpkg-buildpackage works. It only really becomes automatic with wannabuild once you have a working base system. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
