Oh I donno, dpkg not cleaning up after itself due to ctrl-c, segv, whatever seems to me to be it's problem. APT does not run dpkg in this case automatically because that command can cause an unexpected change in the users system, like configuring packages. If dpkg had some other command that only cleaned up after it crashed then APT could call that. Jason
