Moin, I must have some supernatural powers to always attract the same bug: woodys apt fed too short lists into dpkg and thus broke the configuration of circular depending packages (Note: "dpkg --configure blah blubb", where blah depends on blubb and blubb depends on blah works; if you try to run it on each package seperately, it fails). Sarge's apt works around this by increasing the list length fed into dpkg.
There is one case in which users can be bitten by this: when using apt-get dist-upgrade to sarge, so when documenting the woody-sarge upgrade, it should be at least mentioned that the user can run into this and should first upgrade apt to solve this problem. -- c u henning
