I don't quite understand how this would be gs-gpl's fault, it's either
gs-common (because of an error during the configuration) or apt/dpkg,
isn't it? Do you have a complete log of the install, I suspect there
was an error during configuring gs-common.

I reported it against gs-gpl because that was what failed to compile.
There appears to be a dependency loop between gs-gpl, gs-common, and
gs.

Ok, now I understand. Although I find it rather normal that gs-gpl
depends on gs-common but rather weird that gs-common in turn depends
on gs. I would therefor propose to reassign the bug to gs-common.

Oops. I meant configure, not compile.

That sounds good to me.

reassign 290597 gs-common
thanks

Matt,

All of the high-level apt tools should be capable of breaking this kind of
dependency loop between gs-gpl and gs-common, so the most apparent reason
for this kind of failure would be that gs-common could not be configured for
reasons other than this dependency loop. I think we really need to see the
output of trying to install gs-common on this system in order to debug this.

Thanks,

OK. I'll reproduce the problem Monday and send more information.

Was closed as unreproducible in Debian and does not seem to happen on Hoary
either; closing.
