Have I broken apt/dpkg ?

["Daniel M. Griswold" <dgriswol@mail.smu.edu>]

Hi all,

I am getting the strangest behavior from apt-get install.  It yields
the following message:

dpkg: /build/buildd/dpkg-1.8.3.1/main/packages.c:191: process_queue:
Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.

One of those times I was also given instructions to try 
    dpkg --configure -a

but it yields the same result.

The strange thing is that it appears that the package is installed,
although I don't know if the installation was 100% successfull.

I get this with any package as the object of apt-get install.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Dan
