However, it's also possible that dpkg itself is baked. Fortunately, you can download the dpkg source package (which is currently dpkg_1.10.23.tar.gz, at least for unstable) and install it using the ordinary ./configure; make; su; make install routine, and by default it pops dpkg in /usr/bin/dpkg, right where apt-get expects to find it. - -- GnuPG public key available from http://ca.geocities.com/redvision.geo/gnupg_key.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBLzztMqUhaD+LmFcRAqoCAJ9U3uU/WgGhWm2CySHJQ4HTgzd9CgCeL8XW nExztvYp3by2LA6kR8cmFyI= =eqoe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
