Hi,

I wanted to upgrade libsnmp-dev but I dependency problems. So tried to installed the depend packages; but one of the packages depend on a new version of dpkg. Version 1.14 is required and currently i have installed is version 1.10. So run 'dpkg -i dpkg_1.14.25_arm.deb' and get the following message.

It fails while executing the chown command; I dont know what it is trying to do there.

Im currently running debian sarge that is installed on a PC104 board (embedded PC). Reason I have such an old distribution is because it came with the board when I bought it.

Thanks
