The libsigc++-1.2-dev package is "BROKEN".

Here's the output I got when trying to update my freshly installed Nexenta v2.0 beta2:

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

It seems a bit odd that 'libsigc++-1.2-dev' is listed as 'BROKEN' straight after a clean install. I'm also not sure why packages are being removed and added but I can see that this might be down to pre-release bug fixes.

Thanks for your time,
