Hmmm. Interestingly I got an error

      bash: ./dpkg-hurd: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

Which I was able to work around, and sh -x processed ignoring the error?
But that isn't the main point anyway. I installed the downloaded .deb
but the HURD is still failing to boot.

Perhaps we need to start worrying. Or may _I_ should.  :) I am still
receiving the error message and it is failing.  I can't mount the
other partitions. mount /home for instance gives translator died error
message. 

I think I am going to try to revert to the original installation from
CD again. Unless there is some other alternative?

Oh, wait, did I need to run ./native-install again twice after the
install of the new hurd?.....

Hmm. I suppose I shouldn't have to, but will try while waiting for a
reply.
