[debian-knoppix] Package cloop-utils in very inconsistent state
I'm running Knoppix upgraded to Debian unstable and I'm having trouble
with cloop-utils. I don't even need the package, just want rid of it.
I read this (German) thread, and my limited understanding seems to
suggest it might be discussing the same problem:
http://mailman.linuxtag.org/pipermail/debian-knoppix/2002-December/001431.html
This is way beyond my level of expertise. Can anyone advise? If it's
a bug in the Debian package, can you explain what's wrong so I can
report the bug with some element of knowledge?
Here's what's happening when I try to install anything new:

.../cloop-utils_1.02-4_i386.deb) ...
