***EDIT***
So I think that the problem is that the version of dpkg that's included with Ubuntu 10.04 can't handle the xz compression. I am considering upgrading dpkg. Does anyone have any tips on upgrading? I found a PPA, but I want to do a little bit more research before I start hacking on things.
I am having a problem after upgrading DRBL (diskless remote boot linux) on 10.04 Server AMD64. Any pointers would be appreciated.
I added "deb http://drbl.sourceforge.net/drbl-core drbl stable" to sources.list and installed drbl about a year ago. I have had no problems in upgrading until now. This AM, while trying to upgrade installed packages, I received this error:

Has anyone seen this before? My next move is to comment out the sourceforge repo in sources.list and try to see if the syslinux packages from the standard repos can be installed.Code:root@wilson:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg -i drbl_2.3.9-drbl1_all.deb lock syslinux-common_2%3a4.06+dfsg-1.drbl1_all.deb libcrypt-passwdmd5-perl_1.3-9_all.deb partial/ libdbus-glib-1-2_0.84-1ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb syslinux_2%3a4.06+dfsg-1.drbl1_amd64.deb root@wilson:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg -i syslinux_2%3a4.06+dfsg-1.drbl1_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 81527 files and directories currently installed.)
