/usr/lib/dpkg/methods/disk/setup: unexpected EOF while looking for '"'
query/setup script returned error exit status 1.
When I use df to see if it mounted the partition this is the result:
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda12 376560 141577 215534 40% /
/dev/sda7 202456 71032 131424 35% /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt
Is there anyway I can fix this, or do I need to manually re-install
dpkg-1.0.5?
Incidently, this is the only problem I have had. I've installed most of
the distribution without a single hitch until now. I checked the
packages list and there doesn't appear to be any conflicts that I've
missed. I haven't installed anything from the debian-1.0 side.
Thanks for any help.
