Error from libc6.1-dev

[Tim Buller <buller@math.ukans.edu>]

Hello,

	I'm bringing up a LX164 on slink, and I get the following error
from the libc6.1-dev package. 

(144) # dpkg -i libc6.1-dev_2.0.7r-5.deb
Selecting previously deselected package libc6.1-dev.
(Reading database ... 34935 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking libc6.1-dev (from libc6.1-dev_2.0.7r-5.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing libc6.1-dev_2.0.7r-5.deb (--install):
 trying to overwrite directory `/usr/include/linux' in package modutils with nondirectory
dpkg: memory violation at pc=12000d300 rp=1555566ef60 (bad address = 00000001)
Segmentation fault
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

To get rid of it I have to "dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq
libc6.1-dev" since it is in such bad shape.

Any ideas why this is happening? I've tried it under two different
kernels, with the same effect. This package wasn't a problem on another
LX164 I brought to slink a week or so ago. 

TIA,

	Tim
