Hello Euan, can you reproduce bug with any packages in Lenny and apt in Lenny? Otherwise I am going to close it.
I can reproduce the bug in lenny, squeeze and sid by trying to reinstall dpkg and coreutils:

E: Couldn't configure pre-depend coreutils for dpkg, probably a dependency cycle. -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
