i didn't mean run the autoupgrade script again (fortunately, it's not
dangerous to run more than once on a system...it doesn't re-do stuff
that it's already done).
i meant reinstall just the dpkg-ftp package with 'dpkg -i ...'

if version 0.5 ran through without any errors, then the script has done
it's job. it stops as soon as it encounters an error.

i don't use the ftp method, but i recall that it has a passive option. try
yes and try no. see if it makes any difference. it's been some time since
i even looked at dpkg-ftp so there may be other options you can try.
you get to reconfigure an install method - e.g. ftp - by selecting it
again from the Access methods menu in dselect.
