Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the
pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a
psuedo-header at all.
This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your
problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and
version(s) the problem is with next time. Some time in the future the
problem reports system may start rejecting such messages.

Hopefully this isn't a duplicate. I did check, but may have missed the
essential entry...
Recently I upgraded from Debian 1.2 to 1.3.1. Initially, I followed the
instructions to upgrade dpkg as noted in the CD's README and then
installed a few selected packages. This worked quite well.
However, I decided to upgrade all of the currently installed packages
from the CD. After selecting them, I first removed a couple (an IBM
terminal emulator and a X server I don't use) then selected to install.
The install printed the following:
internal error - no file name at -e line 12, <P> chunk 16.
installation script returned error exit status 1
I exited and reran dselect and even changed a few package selections in
a failed attempt to work around the problem. As it is, I cannot use
dselect for package management without getting this error.
1. How might I work around the problem for a short term solution?
2. What more information could I provide to help track down the problem?
Thanks,
Dave

Message #14 received at 11631@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.19
While upgrading to
netbase_2.15-1.deb and netstd_2.15-1.deb
with dpkg-mountable, it cried that predependecies are not yet supported,
and I changed install method to install by "previously mounted partition".
Then the only output of step 3 was:
internal error - no filename at -e line 12, <P> chunk 18.
installation script returned error exit status 1.
Press RETURN to continue.
After I went through steps 0-3 of dselect again, everything is OK.
My system is upgraded quite frequently.
I started about Debian 1.1, I think.
