In fact, I don't have a big problem with needing to have gob to compile --
it's just that (afaik) gob is only found in CVS at the moment, and I tend
to want to install most things as packages, and only compile from source
packages I'm actually personally interested in (like balsa).

When gob makes it as a debian package, I will have no more complaints ;-)

Anyhow, I'm currently updating again.  Fingers crossed it will work this
time..
