In summary, this is not a bug at all, but a deliberate design decision,
that makes debconf a lot more powerful, at the expense of not letting it
try to go in and make the kind of fool-hardy modifications to a
possibly-corrupted debconf database which you are suggesting.
Well, it is a "feature"
I solved many of the problems I reported,
and in particular the unknown syscall.
Martin Michlmayr helped me through.
The bug is that /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
is not being updated, so that debconfig fails
so horribly to trigger that funky syscall.

I am using benh.
I have just upgraded to 2.4.8-pre7-ben0. The compilation
went smoothly, and I am now giving it a go. It looks OK.
The only difficulty is the trackpad; I have to say
"trackpad drag" in order to use it properly.
On the packages, I am afraid the problem is still there.

Whee, you still hit a corrupted binary. I've heard a rumour things
work better if you compile dpkg with -O0 on powerpc.
dpkg is written in c++ (surprise, surprise).
The g++ packages have broken dependencies, and I can not install them.

Each time? Only after sleep for a long time?
Each time. I will recompile the new tree, and re-test.

Use trackpad notap, perhaps. Should be in pmac-utils.
