2963"The immediate configuration marker is also applied in the potentially "
2964"problematic case of circular dependencies, since a dependency with the "
2965"immediate flag is equivalent to a Pre-Dependency. In theory this allows APT "
2966"to recognise a situation in which it is unable to perform immediate "
2967"configuration, abort, and suggest to the user that the option should be "
2968"temporarily deactivated in order to allow the operation to proceed. Note "
2969"the use of the word \"theory\" here; in the real world this problem has "
2970"rarely been encountered, in non-stable distribution versions, and was caused "
2971"by wrong dependencies of the package in question or by a system in an "
