Investigation revealed that /usr/bin/dpkg had permissions of 000. `chmod 755 /usr/bin/dpkg` fixed the problem. I have labelled this 'grave' as a non-obvious workaround is needed to get dpkg working. Obviously, I couldn't use dpkg -i to downgrade! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
