Some first notes: - I can easily reproduce this in a woody chroot by installing the following packages: apache apache-common console-tools-libs cricket defoma gs gs-common gsfonts libapache-mod-auth-pam libapache-mod-ssl libchart-perl libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libdigest-md5-perl libgd-perl libhtml-format-perl libhtml-parser-perl libhtml-tagset-perl libhtml-tree-perl libmailtools-perl libmd5-perl libmime-base64-perl libnet-perl libnet-ph-perl libnet-snmp-perl libnet-snpp-perl libnet-telnet-perl librrds-perl libsnmp-session-perl libtime-hires-perl libtimedate-perl liburi-perl libwww-perl libxml-parser-perl mailman mysql-client perl perl-modules perl-suid php4 php4-mysql phpmyadmin psfontmgr python-bobodtml python-xmlrpc w3m-ssl imagemagick lesstif1 librrd0 ntp ntp-simple sqsh wenglish xlibs (so it doesn't have anything to do with the installed apache2 backport or other system specific problems ...) - It is a apt-get bug only, aptitude handles the same situation just fine. But both apt-get from woody and sarge bail out. - I have really _no_ idea how apt-get finds a dependency between perl and libterm-readline-perl-perl. All I can see is a suggests and apt shouldn't care about that at all... Can someone more firm with apt's interna offer a way to find that out?
