Bug#178503: Bug In Dpkg 1.10.9 (sid)

[ruschein@mail-infomine.ucr.edu (Johannes Ruscheinski)]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.9

The command I executed was:

dpkg -i gcc-3.2*deb

and the error message I got was:

Reading database ... 104275 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace gcc-3.2-base 1:3.2.2-0pre5 (using gcc-3.2-base_1%3a3.2.2-0pre6_i386.deb) ...

Errors were encountered while processing:

Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
