Hi all. OK, so yesterday, in the process of updating my system to the newest slink, I broke dpkg. I cannot install packages anymore. The error messages are as follows:
Preparing to replace modconf 0.2.23 (using modconf_0.2.24.deb) ... Unpacking replacement modconf ... gzip: stdout: Broken pipe dpkg-deb: subprocess gzip -dc returned error exit status 1 dpkg: error processing modconf_0.2.24.deb (--unpack): subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: cron_3.0pl1-50.deb freetype2-dev_1.2-3.deb freetype2_1.2-3.deb kernel-doc-2.0.36_2.0.36-2.deb libg++2.8.2_2.91.60-4.deb modconf_0.2.24.deb E: Sub-process returned an error code Exit 100 Actually, the problem might be not dpkg as such: to remedy the situation, I grabbed dpkg and gzip from stable and manually (ar -x ; tar xvzf ; cp -R) installed them, but that has not changed the situation. Some other package must have broken dpkg. Any ideas? Stefan
