| 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?

Circular dependencies are bugs in the packages themselves.  They are
disallowed by policy, so the bugs in the packages should be fixed
rather than changing one undefined behaviour to another.
