Hi greg.

I've got some wierd stuff going on here:

$ stat  /usr/lib/apt/methods/bzip2
stat: cannot stat `/usr/lib/apt/methods/bzip2': Permission denied
(same as root)

also:

$ dlocate /usr/lib/apt/methods/bzip2
syntax error at /usr/sbin/dpkg-divert line 7, near "Cannot get ENOENT value 
from $dpkglibdir"
syntax error at /usr/sbin/dpkg-divert line 11, near "Debian dpkg-divert 
$version"
syntax error at /usr/sbin/dpkg-divert line 46, near "|| &quit"
  (Might be a runaway multi-line << string starting on line 16)

Thanks for your interest.
