Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase

Package: kdebase-runtime
Depends: ... phonon-backend

This is a pure virtual dependency which wreaks havoc, since it causes phonon-backend-null to be pulled into the alternate CDs and breaks install:

May 14 08:16:18 in-target: Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
May 14 08:16:18 in-target: requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
May 14 08:16:18 in-target: distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
May 14 08:16:18 in-target: or been moved out of Incoming.
May 14 08:16:18 in-target: The following information may help to resolve the situation:
May 14 08:16:18 in-target:

May 14 08:16:18 main-menu[1447]: WARNING **: Configuring 'pkgsel' failed with error code 1

Please change it to prefer a real dependency (-xine?)

This is just a stopgap measure, it will still break netboot and DVD installs.
