This is why users should avoid sid. I've never had this sort of problem running stable, but with sid and experimental packages mixed in you sometimes have to unscrew it (and file bug reports).

This was a straight Wheezy installation after Wheezy became stable, although the installer was unhappy about completing the package installation step and probably triggered this problem. Still, it shouldn't have left the packages in this inconsistent state.

Actually, I think I was mistaken, so I take back the remark about Wheezy being stable at that time: I was using an ISO image from just before the proper release (in the order of a few days, though).
