Package: apt-get
Severity: important

This is a fresh install of Etch, but installing packages is a pain.
I've tried installing php5 and python, and I keep running into
errors.

The first problem was installing php5.  Installation stopped with
'debconf-loadtemplate: command not found'.  After 'apt-get remove' of
php5, php5-cgi and apache-something, I was able to install
'debconf-utils', which provided debconf-loadtemplate.

The second problem was installing python.  Installation stopped with
'update-desktop-database: command not found'.  Did the apt-get remove
thing again, but it aborted, due to update-desktop-database not being
found.  Created symlink from /bin/true to
/usr/bin/update-desktop-database and managed to remove things, then
install desktop-file-utils.

The third problem was installing php5 again.  It got farther, but then
choked on 'install-docs: command not found'.  

This is my first exposure to Debian.  If I weren't being paid to do this
work, I'd be switching back to Redhat right about now!

Thanks for this report.

This was probably don't bug of apt, bug a bug(s) in some binary packages with
missing dependencies. So I'm closing the bug. Reopen it if you encounter some
similar with Lenny beta installs.
