Upgrading from <=2.0 and/or with a CD set. Apt/dpkg as included in 2.1r4 can't handle CD sets with dist-upgrade. Several people have reported static versions work great. I already have compiled static versions myself, but ftpmaster won't install those because they're not signed by a registered developer (which I'm not yet...)
