My bad, I must be getting lame in my old age. I turned on all the debugging options and found dpkg was failing during the postinst phases of configuring the current openbox package in sid. A quick purge and fallback to using blackbox for now has resolved this, but the above problem still exists if I try to install openbox. Doesn't look like the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/openbox.postinst has a problem, it runs with the parameter "configure" and returns an exit code of 0, and the entry for it in /var/lib/dpkg/available looks as though it's fine. So I've no idea why this is happening :/ Apologies for my first mail being so vague. -- rob <e> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <pgp> 0x8bb5c71e
