Debian--libx11-dev installation and configuration errors
Can anyone tell me what the hell the error message shown below and in the attachment means??? Apt-get, Aptitude and dpkg all give the same outcome. Do I need to simply remove the offending .deb file from /var/cache/apt/archives? Do I need to install squeeze from scratch? (I'm installing over a tempermental lenny-sid hybrid installation.) This thing is blocking installation and configuration of 28 other packages. Thanks for any insight.
Code:dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libx11-dev_2%3a1.3.3-4_i386.deb (--unpack): short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/share/doc/libx11-dev/libX11.txt.gz'

This might be the issue. Can you explain what you mean by 'lenny-sid' and 'hybrid' installation, and what your intent is?(I'm installing over a tempermental lenny-sid hybrid installation.)
