Re: procmail and smail
I am having some trouble getting dpkg-ftp to work installing hamm. I have
included some stuff from a dpkg-ftp session (run from dselect) below, in
case anyone can see the problem:
Getting Packages files...(stop with ^C)
Connecting to ftp.debian.org...

However if you have only downloaded a Package files from non-main
distributions you might not want to do this.
