Hi Steven, This is a normal behaviour for dpkg. If there is a failing dependancy, dpkg will not install dependancies, it will notify only and will not install the package. Dependancies installations are managed by the front-end to dpkg (aptitude or apt). This is not a python issue that you are facing to. Cheers Stephbul
