This is mysterious to me. Lessee. I used Loic's latest boot floppies
15-Nov. NFS doesn't work, so I dup'ed an up to the minute mirror of
sid to a hard drive and installed from there. I installed potatoe
[sic] since there is nothing is slink and sid is linked there. I
selected the smallest of the stock configurations, admin, which should
install about 35MB. The problem is that dpkg, the same version as is
running on faure, complains when it tries to set the permissions on a
symlink.
If you can suggest a variation on my methodology, PLEASE. I'm
eager to get this UDB running so I can use it.
