Without testing I can image why this happens. New packages no longer
contain an apkg-installer script and the dependency code doesn't know
that.

You're right, it's my fault. I should have searched all files for
"apkg-installer". Anyway, I will do my best to fix this today,
although the damage is already done :(. I think the best solution is
to add a legacy apkg-installer file into every package.
