If you have net access, type 'sudo dpkg-restore' in your term window.

Code Sample

sudo: dpkg-restore: command not found

How do I fix this?

I am not sure where this topic would go best. Mod, please move it if you think some other forum is better.

It is not a glitch.

It, the dpkg-restore download script, was removed, because Debian removed all references to oldstabe from the Debian repositories.

It is much easier to change an extension versus changing the distro when the location of oldstabe was uncertain.

Now that Debian has provided a permanent home for woody
the download script can be reinstated.
