dpkg won't install (Internal Error)
I have a vanilla potato system I just installed. Now I'm trying to get
a few packages from woody.
I was able to download the packages, but they won't install and I don't
understand the error message:
# apt-get install php4-mysql mysql-server

Need to get 0B/14.2MB of archives. After unpacking 11.4MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration
This happened with the original dpkg in 2.2, so then I used apt-get
install dpkg to get the latest, but it still happens.
If I use -s, it does a bit more before failing:
# apt-get -s install php4-mysql mysql-server

If this is actually an error in one of the packages, rather than dpkg
itself, it sure would be nice if it printed the package name it's having
problems with!
Anyone have any thoughts?
