Dave, I know this comment doesn't help you, but your current
predicament with circular dependencies is the main reason I cannot
abide package-based distros. You will run into the same problem with
any one of the dozens there are available, regardless of the package
management system they employ, be it apt, rpm, yum, whatever.

One of these days I'm going to write a document advocating source-based
distros. Would you allow me to use this posting of yours as an example
of why package-based distros can be so frustrating?
