I ran this script on a Debian-1.3.1.r6 machine at work, using the
method of placing all the necessary .deb files in the current
directory.
It worked great, with only a few warning messages [1] when it upgraded
libg++ and removed wg15-locale.
[1] From looking at "strings dpkg", it was this warning message:
warning: while removing %.250s, directory `%.250s' not empty so not removed
One of the directories it complained about was /usr/lib/g++. That was
the only one I was able to write down; they scrolled off the screen
too fast.
