Subject: dpkg: Serious unpacking bug
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.1.5
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.24
I get this when trying to upgrade: (the slrnpull package also runs into
the same kind of trouble). When it was just slrnpull I was inclined to
believe that it was just a mucked up package there, but that these four
failed and especially that the rest of the KDE stuff worked fine points
to something more high level.
If dpkg is in fact messed up, and it refuses to install a new dpkg, how
should I go about replacing it?
