I have a small problem.
I had a drive crash recently and various program have become corrupted.
Including *sigh* dpkg. It segfaults when installing new packages.
but, that the background
to try and fix this I have 'apt-get source dpkg'
and tried to build it. It complains late in the compile about debiandoc-sgml
not existing, so I 'apt-get source debiandoc-sgml' and tried to build this
now the problem. during the build process for the sgml stuff, it used
dpkg-gencontrol to obtain the architecture of the current platform. and that
is segfaulting too.
What I am wondering is why do these two packages depend on each other?
and, how can I get around it?
