This strikes me as very odd, as 99% of people have no dependency 
problems at all. I added the "nodeps" command-line option, but I have 
never had a need for it myself.

Any ideas on what might be causing your problems? It would be good to 
get this resolved, as the installation clearly doesn't work properly for 
you at all.
