That irc fragment was quite helpful. apt-cache rdepends confirms that 
it's libsoap-lite-perl that's pulling in the libossp-uuid-perl and it's 
sympa (amongst others) that's pulling in libsoap-lite-perl

Well, I probably could do it. I certainly could with a little diligent 
reading of documentation but I'm trying to keep this production system 
as clean as possible. So probably best just to wait for you guys to get 
around to sorting out the dependency in your copious spare time. There's 
no great panic anyway. I was just trying to get my production system a 
bit closer to stable.

I'm getting a little annoyed with Sympa anyway, the documentation is a 
mess, it has a tendency to leave zombie processes lying around, and its 
maintainers never answer questions. I may revert back to mailman. Which 
may fix the problem.

Thanks for the quick response
