[maemo-developers] Scratchbox python installation: Depends: libosso-abook but it is not going to be installed

Wether or not the python2.5-abook is really broken, this is not really
a sane way to install anything. You should choose your desired modules
and install those.

As you see in the list it gives you, you are also selecting packages
for 2.4 and 2.3, also every version of python starting from 2.2,
multiple times the same module for each version etc.

Usually this kind of mixed truckload of packages will result in
conflicts even within the list of packages to install, I wouldn't be
surprised if this was the case here too...
