Is this only in the first run, or aslo in the second? There ARE errors
printed out by native-install, but that's no problem if it succeeds later
on.
Try "dpkg --pending --configure" or "dpkg --audit". If this shows problems,
native-install didn't complete correctly and I want to see the output.
The above error ony shows that base-files wasn't configured yet. The order
in which the packages are configured is hard to determine, but cycling
through "--pending --configure" usually helps.

I am sorry about the ae/slang situation. Some versions are heavily broken,
and I think the current packages in the archive are among them. I will try
to address this as soon as possible, by bumping the version numbers again
and recompiling them. Thanks for rememberimg me of that.

Yeah, some old dpkg version had a wrong understanding of their own
architecture. Get dpkg 1.4.1.6 (or .5) and install it with the following
command:
dpkg --install --force-architecture dpkg_1.4.1.5.deb
Then all subsequent dpkg commands will work.
thanks,
