Re: fvwm_2.4.10-2_powerpc.deb corrupted or buggy?
Thanks for the hint. That was the problem (my /usr partition was full).
I'm so used to being swamped with "out of space" message when a program
tries to write to a full filesystem that it didn't occur to me that that
could be the problem. I'm a little surprised apt-get/dpkg didn't
respond to this situation in a more user-friendly manner.
