I'm a dinosaur from the old UNIX days, I like compiling kernels.
There are specific CONFIG options that must be set or not set in
order for a kernel to work with udev. Supposedly my kernel is new
enough, but it has the wrong options. Playing menuconfig with
make-kpkg to find these options is fun. In any event, I've had a
bunch of other things that needed to be done, and replacing the
kernel still isn't at the top of my TODO list. Until then, I am
stuck with 146-5 of udev.

A few minutes ago, I tried to install just -java-common by itself,
as well as -report-builder by itself. In both situations, they
want to remove -help-en-us and install -l10n-zh-tw and -help-zh-
tw. They then both get into this cycle problem and quit. Which I
thought was interesting.
What I think I am going to do, is uninstall all the openoffice.org
packages, and then re-install the minimum required.
