apt-get source dpkg (you must have deb-src lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list for this to work). You might be able to boot using the Debian CD, hit L.alt-F2 to get a console, mount your partitions in /mnt, chroot /mnt, and use the CD's copy of dpkg to install dpkg...someone else could probably clarify this since I haven't done a whole lot of chrooting myself.... -- Baloo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
