dpkg error w/ mac68k boot-floppies 2.2.12

[Ray Knight <audilvr@speakeasy.org>]

I have tried several installs using the potato boot-floppies version
2.2.12 for the m68k macintosh.  The same error has occurred on 3
different systems and I have tried the install several times.  When I
select the simple installation where I pick major functional packages
from the list after selecting quit from the list the system will display
the following message:

dpkg:  unexpected data after package and selection at line 1

I am unfamiliar with the debian package management system and only have
experience with debian on the m68k macintosh arch.  The above message is
followed by a log-in prompt.  I can login in at that point and run
dselect and select packages and install to complete the installation. 
This problem only seems to occur with the simple install which I assume
most newbies will want to do.  If someone could point out where I might
find additional error logs ..etc that might help identify the cause of
the bug I would appreciate it.  As far as I could tell this error was
not logged in /var/log should I be looking somewhere else for an error
log pertaining to dpkg?
