Since I did not (apparently) explicitly ask for 'python2.5-cairo', I suppose it was included in one of the other requests.
I don't know (anything) but would be suprised if it installed after your reflash. You could install gcompri or mytube with just that?
Oddly, here is my re-try of a working installation. Two things are different from yours. 5packages and the 'set to manual' on my first run. I thought it would force an install on the second attempt.
Code:
/home/user # apt-get install python2.5-cairo
Reading package lists... Done

python2.5-cairo is already the newest version.
python2.5-cairo set to manual installed.

I don't see a forced install option with apt-get help. You could just apt-get remove python2.5-cairo then re Apt-get install python2.5-cairo if you are stiill having problems.
