You stressed the system and something didn't like it. If you can easily reproduce it, you could let us know how or even do some debugging on your own. dpkg -i * with a huge number of packages stresses the system considerably, but I was able to install a few dozen packages on a bunch with no problem. However, I used the ftp method and not dpkg -GROBiE. There are some parts of the system which are not widely tested, and some race conditions seldom encountered. The only way to track them down is to stumble upon a reproducible test case and sink your teeth into it :) Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
