apt/dpkg bug, not sure which yet, and I've no idea why doc-linux-html seems to be its favourite target today. Edit /var/lib/dpkg/available around the line number it quotes (it should be in a paragraph starting with "Package: doc-linux-html"), and remove the "MD5sum:" line. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
