Here is what's going on. cdrom-detect fails to configure as it cannot find the drive. The user selects anna from the main menu. Anna depends on retriever, a virtual package provided by floppy-retriever, and cdrom-retriever. main-menu needs to configure at least one of these to continue, and it chooses to configure cdrom-retriever. Which depends on cdrom-detect. Around and around we go. :-( If instead the cdrom detect is successful, things work as they are supposed to: anna is run and displays a list of retrievers. Note that since none of the retreivers are menu items, main-manu's satisfy_virtual() does not display a list of them for the user to choose from. Instead it apparently defaults to the package with the highst priority, with an arbitrary tie-breaker that currently favours cdrom-retreiver over floppy-retreiver. -- see shy jo
