Machine problem results in dpkg failure
One of our servers seems to fall over under load, which is what it did
during a big apt-get update.
Consequently I am getting some errors installing some packages.
I am trying to install ssh, and get the errors listed below. Looks like
there isn't a cache entry of some sort for the ssh package. It appears
possible that some of the dpkg directories have been badly affected
during the crash -- I had to fsck the disks by hand.
Help much appreciated!
Thanks
Rory
