Anyone got an idea why the ipmasq package in stable would fail to install? I'v got an old machine (486 vintage with an AMD 5x86 processor @133MHz) that I use as a firewall running latest stable. While attempting to install ipmasq it goes through this series of events: dmz:~# apt-get clean dmz:~# apt-get -f install ipmasq Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: ipmasq 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 47.4kB of archives. After unpacking 455kB will be used. Get:1 http://http.us.debian.org stable/main ipmasq 3.5.10 [47.4kB] Fetched 47.4kB in 28s (1673B/s) Preconfiguring packages ... E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly The only thing I can think of is that there is some sort of previously unseen hardware problem - but I hope that's not the case! Any help would be greatly appricated! Ron -- Email: <rbf@farrer.net> or <rbf@debian.org> Home: <http://farrer.net/~rbf/> Debian GNU/Linux on PowerPC: <http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/>
