Yeah, nasty thing to do.. but I'm freaking out, you know? ;-) Does a previous version work? I'm using 1.10.15 with no problems at all. > Is anybody else going through this?

I'd suggest using "debsums", but the dpkg package doesn't include md5sums. I can give you this, however: 6fa24e23b306cc11fc399f7fa467c0d0 /usr/bin/dpkg That's 1.10.15 on i386. I do have prelink installed, bug I reinstalled the .deb from /var/cache/apt/archives/ just before checksumming and it was identical. That said, if you reinstalled dpkg and it's still messed up, it's unlikely to be a problem with dpkg itself. If you can get debsums installed, maybe do a check of all the packages on your system? If libc6 or such gets broken, you'll get lots of weird problems. -- Rob Weir <rweir@ertius.org> | mlspam@ertius.org | Do I look like I want a CC?
