["allen wayne best just ramblin in his amx" <abest@rl76065.cup.hp.com>]

hello:

i got the following error while trying to install debian in the dselect stage:

E: Internal Error, couldn't configure a pre-depend. Some errors occurred
    while unpacking. I'm going to configure the packages that were installed.
    This may be result in duplicate errors or errors caused by missing
    dependencies.

    This is OK, only the errors above this message are important. Please fix
    them and run [I]nstall again.

how do i fix this "pre-depend" problem??? any suggestions are greatly 
appreciated.
