  The libc-lchown stuff is only required to use dpkg 1.4.0.24 with a
2.1 kernel. Any other combination it will probably break :) With the
advent of dpkg 1.4.0.31, it's entirely unnecessary and has been
pulled.

  To recap for everyone - first and foremost, you need a new
kernel. If you're still using the one that the debian installer
installed all those aeons ago, it isn't going to work. Either compile
up a 2.1.x (x > 70-something), or a 2.0.35 with the 2.0.35
alpha-patches .deb (available from http://gige.epy.co.at), or possibly 
grab a new kernel from the new disk images (do patched ones exist?).

  Then install the new libc package.
  Then install the new dpkg package.

  Don't get the ordering confused :)
