It probably means that gzip tried to pipe its output to a command that
never got started. For example:
$ ls -lR | rubbish
bash: rubbish: command not found
Broken pipe

If the script is executable, just type its pathname relative to the current
directory: `./preinst.sh' (if its in a directory on your search path, you can
just type its name); if it isn't executable you can do `. ./preinst.sh'
or else make it executable.

$ dpkg -S `type -p man`
man-db: /usr/bin/man
^^^^^^
So install man-db.

Where did you get this copy of Xfree86 from? If you're using Debian, you
should install xbase, the appropriate xserver-??? and a font package (which
dselect ought to suggest to you). It looks as though you are trying to
install a non-Debian version; this is not really a good idea.

libc.so.4 is the aout format libc, which is out of date as far as the bo
(stable) distribution is concerned. You appear to be running bo (??)
