In this reply, I'm replying to many questions and support from different
people, who, before I start, I would like to thank greatly.
What version: Unstable, 1.9.2.
Strace: Output at end of message.
Checksums: Unfortunately, I did overwrite my original dpkg with the
unpacked version. I figured it couldn't get any worse than it already was.
Status of available/status/etc files: What types of problems should I be
looking for?
Rebuild: Downloading source now.
Strace output from: dpkg -i foo (since I get it regardless of whether or
not the file exists, this should be fine)
