Package: dpkg Version: 1.4.0.24 I get this when trying to upgrade: (the slrnpull package also runs into the same kind of trouble). When it was just slrnpull I was inclined to believe that it was just a mucked up package there, but that these four failed and especially that the rest of the KDE stuff worked fine points to something more high level.
If dpkg is in fact messed up, and it refuses to install a new dpkg, how should I go about replacing it? (Reading database ... 81806 files and directories currently installed.)
