/bin/sh: /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure: No such file or directory

[Art Lemasters <art_lem@yahoo.com>]

  I am running woody.

  Running dselect in apt access mode, none of the upgrade
packages will install.  I also tried running apt-get.
The error message when trying to install is

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/bin/sh: /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure: No such file or directory
E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt returned an error
code (127) E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure
--apt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure *is* there and contains less than 127
lines
  How can I fix this system so that it will upgrade for
the time being?

  Please reply to me at art_lem@yahoo.com for now, as I have no
e-mail account that will handle the volume of debian-user, yet.
Thanks!

Art Lemasters
