Subject: apt-get, Correcting dependancies hangs (pre-slink system)

Subject: apt-get: Correcting dependancies hangs (pre-slink system).
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.11
Severity: normal
I've got a system that I setup from debian unstable in march 1998.
I've just upgraded libc6, and a few others so that I can install
apt. And I've installed apt.
Now I asked apt-get to "-f install", and it says:
# apt-get -f install
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Correcting dependencies...
And there it hangs. Doesn't use CPU, it just hangs. Strace says:
gettimeofday({933710828, 71741}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({933710828, 77133}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({933710828, 79986}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({933710828, 83975}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({933710828, 86748}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({933710828, 88851}, NULL) = 0
) = 34ng Dependency Tree... DoneTree... Don"..., 34

write(1, "Correcting dependencies...", 26Correcting dependencies...) = 26
brk(0x8086000) = 0x8086000
brk(0x8089000) = 0x8089000
brk(0x808e000) = 0x808e000
And that was it.
One more interesting thing is that the debian archive I'm giving
apt-get (in /etc/apt/sources.list) points to a archive with
only Packages.gz admin base devel interpreters libs net text utils x11
in it, not the other sections. (and only potato/unstable).
Upgrading my normal (reasonably up-to-date) system works OK with
the same archive.
Thanks,
