starting a couple of weeks ago, dselect has begun giving the following
weird error:
.....
Scaricato 1896kB in 1m3s (29,6kB/s)
Preconfiguring packages ...
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly
Si sono verificati alcuni errori nella scompattazione.

Si prega di correggerli e di eseguire [I]nstall un'altra volta
Premere invio per continuare.
i press <enter> as suggested and get:
/usr/lib/dpkg/methods/apt/install: line 107: 2360 Killed
$DPKG "$DPKG_OPTS" --configure -a
lo script di installazione ha restituito un codice di errore
100 in uscita.
Premi <invio> per continuare.
<enter>
......
if i run:
dpkg -C
and repeat install from dselect everything is performed regularly
and i do not get any arror
but if i run again dselect and download further pkg's i get again
the above error
the above problem affects dselect only, not apt-get install, nor dpkg -i
i tried to solve the problem doing the following:
debsums (exits without any output)
apt-get install dselect --reinstall
apt-get install dpkg --reinstall
but dselect keeps on giving the same error

I don't really think we can improve this error message ... something is
sending dpkg SIGKILL (in this case, the kernel's low-memory reaper).
But that could just as well be done manually or by faulty hardware etc.
