What does it mean? What should I do? How do I fix it? As far as I can tell (this is all according to my mind, so take with a grain of salt)... What is going on: dpkg is aborting because of circular dependencies. What does it mean: Two or more packages, possibly libggi2 and libggi-target depend on one another, and so neither can be installed. What should I do? Bring it to the attention of appropriate people (ie people who can fix it - the circular-dependency package maintainer, or the dpkg people, depending on where the problem indeed lies). How do I fix it? Rebuild the packages in question, removing one or more of the Depends: fields, or dropping it to a Recommends:. -- Robert Donn "IBM don't make nonstandard things.
