Re: xz support in dpkg

xz support in dpkg

Hi, I am running debian unstable, but upgrading only occasionally. Now I have some packages which give an error message saying that dpkg cannot handle "data.tar.xz". apt-get does not do much else than complaining about this, whatever I try to do. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks a lot, Andr
