Two related questions: 1. Anyone know the significance of dpkg: ../../../dpkg/packages.c:191: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. ? This is with v1.4.0.35, during the configuration phase. 2. Can I safely use potato's dpkg in slink? Can I recompile it to use the older dependancies instead of, e.g. libstdc++2.10? .
