Hi all,
I've found the problem,
the opie-pics, qt-embedded, qt-embedded-rotation and timezones packages
have blank Depends: lines which means that dpkg can't process them. I tried
manually removing the Depends: lines for them in the Packages.gz file, but
that didn't seem to fix things. I'm afraid I've had to move the 4 offending
packages out of the feed for now.
David, fancy building new versions of those four packages with Depends:
none instead?
