Ah, that succeeds.  But I copied some of the prints to the real one and
it dies on an fvwm-icons entry containing only

    Package: fvwm-icons
    Status: install ok not-installed
    Priority: optional
    Section: x11

Which I presume is being picked out because it's a "Recommends:" of
fvwm.  Does that look like everyone else's failing cases too?

Is that entry normal for dpkg?  Those not-installeds seem to get left
behind by old packages, but fvwm-icons still exists.  Don't think I've
had it installed.  I use apt all the time now, so dunno if it crept in
from an old update available or dselect something.
