I've had to rebuild my system which I've done by installing rain from
CD, and I'm now running apt-get after having changed rain to hail and
slink to potato in /etc/apt/sources.list. I'm stuck at this point:
root@rjw# apt-get -f install
Reading Package Lists... Done

The following extra packages will be installed:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I've also run varying combinations of these:
apt-get -f install libwrap0
apt-get --fix-missing dist-upgrade
apt-get -o APT::Force-LoopBreak=1 --fix-missing dist-upgrade
apt-get -f install
But I seem to be stymied. Can anyone suggest a solution? I'm reluctant
to halt ppp with the system in it's current state, lest I lose conntact
permanently.
