I did.  But on second thought: 

This happened to me as well a few times before using exclusively a
failing "dpkg -i foo_08-15_i386.deb" (reason: disk full) and it can
easily be reproduced by simply pressing ctrl-c during install.  

I guess, that rather makes it a dpkg problem which dpkg hopefully
should learn to handle by itself instead of bothering the user with
manual tinkering.  If a normal admin-user has no other choice fixing
stuff anyway other than doing what dpkg demands, it could rather do it
all by itself instead of bothering the user-admin with this.

I use a computer for making it do all the stuff i don't want to be
bothered with.  But programs need to be cooperative in this regard.

                               Cheers, P. *8^)
