Hi,
Well, I do not really know of a solution, really, but seeing
that I perpetrated this problem, (and I don't want to work on my tax
return), I worked this out on the command line (who needs editors?)
Pardon me for being cryptic, but long variable names make to much of
the command line scroll off.
This does work. But the real answer is that we have to wait
for a re-written dpkg for a solution. I am sorry for any
inconvenience caused.

like *during* lunch, about 12:28; say 12:30, give or take a few
minutes), I leaned back in my chair (it was one of those aluminum
chairs, good strength-to-weight, like titanium but not quite; but
then of course titanium would be a bit of an overkill). Anyway, I
heard one of the girls talking about how boring she thought engineers
could be." Alan Denney ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
