Did you just update your iPhone 3G, jailbreak with Redsn0w, and try to update packages in Cydia only to find this message: Error Couldn’t configure pre-depend dpkg for ncurses, probably a dependency cycle.
The Fix: It is caused by installing ICY. Rejailbreak and do not select ICY. You can just rejailbreak using redsn0w 0.7.1 and you do not need to restore the firmware.

Hi!
If you has ssh access to iphone, you could fix this by dpkg.
Download the debs, go to /var/cache/apt/archives and install the packages with dpkg -i –force-all
You should install the debs in the dependency order!
Cheers
