dpkg-deb: wait for tar failed: Function not implementedWhee, you still hit a corrupted binary. I've heard a rumour things work better if you compile dpkg with -O0 on powerpc.
dpkg is written in c++ (surprise, surprise). The g++ packages have broken dependencies, and I can not install them. I would strongly discourage to use c++ in any "base" package. Any chance that these messages of mine will be post to the dpkg mailing list? I would expect a far cry in both dpkg and ppc lists, but things are surprisingly quiet. Are you using "unstable" at all? -- Bob _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
