A bug in apt-get, failing to handle circular dependencies when asked
to install a lot of packages, is making it impossible to install one
of the profiles on the current Skolelinux build.  This is Skolelinux
bug #220, and Debian bug #172339. Is there any of you who can try to
find out how to solve it?

The problem appears if you install from the CD, and only chooses to
install the 'workstation' profile.

I had a look, but was unable to understand the logic of APT in the
short time I tried.
