I cannot replicate this bug; I created a clean lenny chroot and try to see what's happening, here's the transcript (hope gmail won't disrupt it too much): localhost:/home/morph/chroot/lenny# cat /etc/debian_version lenny/sid localhost:/home/morph/chroot/lenny# find . -name *gkrellmd* ./var/cache/apt/archives/gkrellmd_2.3.1-7_i386.deb localhost:/home/morph/chroot/lenny# aptitude install gkrellmd Reading package lists...

I think there is something "weird" on your box, even because this version is in debian since mid August '08 and no-one reported such problem. Please let me know if you want me to execute other tests, but I suspect the fix is on your side (wrong permission on some dirs/files or so).
