Package: dpkg
Version: 1.6.7

I just got a potato CD and while installing from within dselect,
dpkg crashes:

dpkg: considering removing mysql-base in favour of libmysqlclient6 ...
mysql-base is not properly installed - ignoring any dependencies on it.
dpkg: yes, will remove mysql-base in favour of libmysqlclient6.
Preparing to replace libmysqlclient6 3.22.27a-3 (using .../libmysqlclient6_3.22.27a-3.deb) ...

/usr/lib/dpkg/methods/disk/install: line 116:   547 Aborted                 dpkg -iGROEB "$p_mountpoint$this_binary"

I am using kernel 2.2.13, libc-2.1.2, although I guess that this is not the
problem.

Hope that this can be overcome somehow...

Greetings,
