Report forwarded to debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org, Klee Dienes and Ian Jackson <dpkg-maint@chiark.greenend.org.uk>:

Message #5 received at submit@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.19
# dpkg -s dpkg
Package: dpkg
Essential: yes
Status: install ok installed
[snip]
# dpkg --configure dpkg
dpkg: error processing dpkg (--configure):
package dpkg is not ready for configuration
cannot configure (current status `installed')
Errors were encountered while processing:
dpkg
#
The error message is a bit confusing: it says "is not ready for
configuration". Perhaps the message can be changed into "package dpkg is
already configured" or something like that.
Thanks,
Chris
