drawing a blank here about dpkg error

[m* <mark@novare.net>]

i'm trying to clean up a system and am running into a dpkg
opiton problem that i have seen before, but i can't remember
now what the solution was.

when i try to upgrade dpkg i get:

Preparing to replace dpkg (using dpkg_1.4.0.8.deb) ...
dpkg: unknown option --assert-support-predepends

is the "--assert-support-predepends" being passed by
the new dpkg package then causing the the current version
of dpkg to fail?

help from the Force will be appreciated!

m*
