I installed hurd through crosshurd.  It was not installed
automatically, but as I then upgraded throug "apt-get dist-upgrade", I
found it available through the repositories.  It actually tries to
install when using "apt-get install aptitude", but then the dependency
problem shows up...

Aptitude has become with time an essential package management tool to
me now, :), so I really miss it under hurd...

Thanks a lot,
