1. Do file a bug report. 2. In order to solve it I would try to install the packages that task-c-devel is installing separately. As for libc-dev, I suspect that libc6-dev can replace it. Actually, I could simulate what will be done by apt-get -s package1 package2 ... With this simulation apt might report the name of the true missing package (if any) and the required sequence for installing the packages separately. > Thanks in advance for the help! > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
