For the record, I did a clean install yesterday with the standard boot floppies and experienced the same problem during dselect's installation of all the standard packages. I hit enter and saw that on the second go around man-db unpacked just fine. I don't have a spare machine lying around and don't feel like hosing my man install so I can't go back and reproduce it. Any clean install would have the problem though, I guess. (BTW, at what point should we trim To: and Cc:? If I had sent this to just the bug database and debian-devel would that have been enough to have it propogate to the right people?) -- Brian Kimball
