Neighter am I. But it may well help if you try to install floatbg
by hand: type

  dpkg -i debian/stable/binary-i386/x11/floatbg_1.0-6.deb

I've done that, which made me try installing it via dselect, I perfer to 
install by hand 
(where you'll probably have to edit the  true path to the binary).

If that doesn't work, try to reinstall mgetty-fax, there appears
to be something wrong there too (preferalby using the above manual
method again).

If eighter goes wrong, I'm sure we'll be able to help you better
when you give us the error messages produced then. But probably
all's well then

Same error message when I try install any deb
And I can't to find `mgetty-fax' on ftp.debian.org
I tried the search engine but it keeps timing out 
but I think that I would get the same result
as the above error msg
reason being it happens when it starts reading the database..

Any and All Help is Very Welcome 

Peter
