This helps to *get* all files I want to install :-), but the problem
while installing remains :-((.
OK, the problem of free disk space was solved and I suggest to
insert the '-P' option in the install script.
But what about the other problem? I had the hope that it would disapear
but after
Do you want to install the files fetched [y]:
I got:

DPKG ERROR
I can't imagine any reason for this behaviour. What the hell is the
task of the files in tmp.ci? An `ls -l' says:
drwxr-xr-x root root tmp.ci
I had the supposition that dselect
uses some quite different rights from root but this makes no sense at all.
This supposition is provided by the following fact. Former I mounted only
/var/lib on the HP-server. Now I tar-ed the complete /var-tree, mounted
/var on the HP-server and un-tar-ed it. I've got some mysterious error
messages from tar when unpacking the *.deb files:
tar: cannot chown file var/debian/stable/binary-i386/<abc>.deb to uid 47653 gid
64696
tar: cannot chown file var/debian/stable/binary-i386/<xyz>.deb to uid 2282 gid
64976
The "possibility" of the second uid/gid combination was much higher (1:5)
but it seems to be randomly if a *.deb package failed to chown to one or
the other user. What about this uid/gid numbers. May be the root of my
problem is here.
Any more ideas to fix this bug out there? Without any clue
Andreas.
