hi,
i just went to file a bug report against this on the debian site and
found that one had already been filed on:
feb. 08 2007
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=410158
would it be possible for lilypond developers to look at this bug
thread and perhaps wake it up a bit? :)
this predepend error is a real blocker when it comes to including
lilypond on any live debian or ubuntu based cd
thanks,
rob
