I'm really starting to dislike debian. (even if its only due to my own lack of knowledge)
I can't apt-get install debconf because it complains that it needs jdk. I can't install a jdk cause that needs xfree86-common. I can't install that because it needs debconf. Does anyone know how I can get out of this vicious circle???
