Yes, dpkg_1.16.2 is in use. I started with "debian-6.0-hurd-i386-CD-1.iso"
on March 24th, changed to track "wheezy/sid", with an upgrade as late as
today. The remarkable thing is that very early at boot time there is a
complaint that "chmod" is unable to work on a dangling link "/etc/motd".
The file is, however, available once login is possible.
More alarming is the fact that "/run/utmp" is never created, in spite
of repeated starts. I get the impression that "bootmisc.sh" is never
executed early in the boot chain. Comments?
Best regards,
