No, not your fault, the installer is stupid today.  In order to fix
this, you can either wait for the next nightly build, or grab the
libgal5 package from the ximian ftp server.  
While I'm at it, can somebody tell me Why there's a "gal" package that
only contains docs?  Seems the wrong name to me.  Shouldn't it be libgal
and libgal-devel, and eliminate gal, or at least rename gal to gal-docs?
Yes, I know how to implement all of those in RPM, not sure about dpkg.
