More: Its the file /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/disk/install that is breaking about line 12 of some inlined perl. The problem seems to be with a file /var/lib/dpkg/predep-package (something like that, I left my notes at home). If you simply find the .deb mentioned in predep-package, install it manually with # dpkg -i blah_blah_blah.1_2.3.deb then delete /var/lib/dpkg/predep-package. Dselect's Install method should work after that. I had this stall for a few different packages; exact names on a piece of paper at home, I'm afraid. Full report tomorrow. Andrew
