This is getting scary. I could have sworn it worked, but I cleaned up
everything, and run the script to rebuild the files and dirs. Now it
is the same thing for i386 as with alpha (at least it is consistant).

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
task-sgml: Depends: xemacs20
E: Sorry, broken packages

Aargh, why doesn't apt-get work the same way in the simulated
environment as in the real setup :-(
Get http://www.debian.org/~martinb/taskcheck.tar.gz if you want to
study this on the living thing.
Thanks for any help.
Ciao,
Martin
