Subject: DANGER: installing ld.so & libc5 with dftp

There is a significant problem when installing "ld.so" and "libc5" using
'dftp'.

Apparently, until "ld.so" is configured "libc5" won't install, and if
"libc5" insn't configured then perl breaks.  After which nothing will
install.

I'll fix this for dftp v2.1, but for now it would be wise to install
these packages individually by hand with "dpkg --install <pkg>" before
running 'dftp' to fetch the rest of them.

    In theory, theory and practice are the same.  In practice, they're not.

Am I right in assuming that this is an upgrade from 0.93 to 1.1 ?
I can't think of another reason that libc5 would not be installed.
