Circular dependencies are no problem, we have them all over Debian. (Circular pre-dependencies would be a problem.) Try 'apt-get install libc6 libdb2'? If your perl is broken, that might be a problem. You could try editing /etc/apt/apt.conf and commenting out the dpkg-preconfigure line. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
