Is this only in the first run, or aslo in the second? There ARE errors printed out by native-install, but that's no problem if it succeeds later on. Try "dpkg --pending --configure" or "dpkg --audit". If this shows problems, native-install didn't complete correctly and I want to see the output. The above error ony shows that base-files wasn't configured yet. The order in which the packages are configured is hard to determine, but cycling through "--pending --configure" usually helps. > - after the installation > > ae doesn't work : error in loading shared library libc.so.6 > I fix it by ln --symbolic libc.so.6 libc.so.0.2 > but now it gets error in loading shared library /lib/libslang.so.1 : undefined > symbol _IO_stdout_ I am sorry about the ae/slang situation. Some versions are heavily broken, and I think the current packages in the archive are among them. I will try to address this as soon as possible, by bumping the version numbers again and recompiling them.

Yeah, some old dpkg version had a wrong understanding of their own architecture. Get dpkg 1.4.1.6 (or .5) and install it with the following command: dpkg --install --force-architecture dpkg_1.4.1.5.deb Then all subsequent dpkg commands will work. thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
