Dpkg install error on Enlightenment Package



Hi all,

Tried to upgrade Enlightenment from 0.14 to 0.16 as seen below.  I can't
figure out the unknown option about --assert-long-filenames as it's not in
the dpkg --help or in the man files of dpkg.  Do I have an outdated dpkg
or anything else amiss?

Thanks,
Scott Au
