Package: apt Version: 0.6.43.3 Severity: normal Hello,
Yesterday, I tried to install ilisp and got (approximately) the error: could not configure pre-depends, possible dependency cycle There are no dependency cycles, but from what was happening when I installed it by hand, I deduce that the problem was that I was installing from a cdrom, and the situation was as follows: - ilisp pre-depends: common-lisp-controller - common-lisp-controller depends: something I don't remember, let's say X - ilisp and X are on CD1 - common-lisp-controller is on CD2 The problem is that apt asked for CD1 first (it's logical, because common-lisp-controller was not installable at that time), and by the way tried to install ilisp, which needs common-lisp-controller configured, but that couldn't be because CD2 hadn't been inserted. Shouldn't apt do something more reasonable than just failing?
