This kind of problem appears to be fixed in apt CVS (i.e. an unreleased version): * "Internal Error, Couldn't configure pre-depend" is not actually an internal error, it is a packaging error and now it says so, and pinpoints the problem dependency. By the way, your Mail-Followup-To: line told my mailer to send a copy to 'Simon Pepping <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>', which isn't correct. I adjusted it for my mail, but you might want to fix your mailer configuration.
