Ha! You think if this would be all that is needed, I wouldn't have already
committed a change to Jason and get it included? :)
I promise that your version of apt is broken. For example, it doesn't have
the right architecture set (it will try to download i386 packages). See
http://bugs.debian.org/39227. Brent was reporting some other stuff I forgot
about, and we have to check if it can compile the GUI.
But I can check if I can hack a minimal apt-get indeed. Maybe Brents problem
was in another frontend or so...
Thanks,
Marcus
