fileutils don't have a Debian Sig
Well I am really disappointed _big_ about my last encounter with DEBIAN:
OK I had a totally screwed up System and therefore I decided to install
Debian from scratch.
As I could not use the Woody CD-Roms I downloaded some time ago, I figured
I use my old Progeny-Debian as a start, and update this to the
stable Woody.
As I had a lot of stuff that I didn't want to be messed with, I decided to
clean one entire HDD just to have room for Progeny Debian.
Now; while the install was no problem, I figured it would be save to mount
the old Debian on /DEBIAN and then I run apt-get -f dist-upgrade,
oh man was I surprised when I returned to my PC to find that dpkg or apt
or whatever had _cleanly_ _wiped_ my old Debian; everything that was mounted
under /DEBIAN was/is gone. The only good thing is my home partition was/is on
it's own partition and was left alone, as it was not mounted.
I only saw a error on the command-line with the claim /DEBIAN was sort of
Bug or whatever.
This alone was not the biggest let-down:
As I wrote above I wanted to update Progeny-Newton to Debian-Woody
but in the middle of "apt-get -f dist-upgrade" the next error
was even more severe: "fileutils Origin Signature check failed
this deb might not be signed"
And that was the end of it.
Right now I use a Progeny-Newton that was not yet updated.
Hopefully someone can shed a light on this, as I need to finish the
installation.

The box said Windows, NT or better, so I installed Linux :-)
