Package: apt Version: 0.5.27 Severity: normal
Sorry for the rather vague report - I'm not entirely sure which package to report this to - so apologies if you are not the culprit. However, either apt or dpkg need to return more detailed error information for me to give a more detailed report. I update using dselect, first updating the list of available packages, then install them - using the apt-get method from dselect. I get the following error (which I wrote down and retyped - due to lack of cut and paste - so beware of possible errors in the transcription): Errors were encountered while processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libflash-dev_0.4.11-2_i386.deb E sub process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1). Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the packages that were installed.... Letting the process finish, and reinstalling, I get this package to reinstall again, and it all works fine.
