Package: apt Version: 0.7.14+b1 Severity: normal Installing a package selects numerous additional packages for installation, none of which are dependencies of the package to install. This error occurs in a chroot environment after a fresh debootstrap installation. I do not see how this could be the reason for this problem, though.
