a little problem with andLinux and apt-get

when i use apt-get to install libraries, like the allegro development package or the DUMB dev package, it all goes fine until andLinux suddenly decides to quit the terminal and the program, does anyone know why?

andLinux

I'm using andLinux with windows 2000 and I have about 1gb of hd space left (other libraries i've installed have been fine - these are the allegro files (non dev) and the DUMB package (non dev))

Thanks.

Update:

I've found the problem and it seems that this is in both CoLinux and AndLinux. The problem is that both of these doesn't allow you to upgrade/install x11-common without crashing. To solve this problem take these steps:

edit all the scripts in /var/lib/dpkg/info/x11-common.* with 'exit 0' (with out the ') in the first line of each script

or

in the terminal apt-get install laptop-detect and edit the second line of laptop-detect with 'exit 1'. laptop-detect can be found in /usr/sbin/

you'll know if you got it right when (using apt-get or aptitude in the terminal ONLY) you get a blue screen telling you about x-server possibly going missing, then another blue screen after that telling you that the installation will fail as it cannot remove the files in /usr/X11R3/
