Hi,
I ran into a bit of trouble due to all this. Apt-get today first upgraded
dpkg to 1.9.17 and then wanted to upgrade the Hurd package. I got a basic
catch-22 situation since the new dpkg wanted update-rc.d in the Hurd, but
the Hurd was not going to be installed ... well.
My quick patch was this:
# touch /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
# chmod +x /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
# apt-get upgrade
Regards
/Joachim
