Hi,

dpkg in experimental will break upgrades, if procps
package is not installed.



(Reading database ... 7481 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace dpkg 1.9.21 (using .../dpkg_1.13.4_powerpc.deb) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 98: ps: command not found
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.13.4_powerpc.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.13.4_powerpc.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
