I doubt it. Certainly dpkg-mountable never modifies any system files
directly, since (as I'm sure you're aware) this is a rather silly thing
to do, and IIRC from reading the dpkg-ftp source

Ah yes, this brings up a point: *Don't* use Alt=(bit 0x80)! This won't

In fact, as part of the Deity project, I'd like to do something a little

There are some nasty attacks with links and symlinks in temp directories
(see bugtraq for an extended list). Some programs solve this by
putting temp files in home directories. This is clearly suboptimal
(networked home directory, quotas, ...). /tmp and /var/tmp are there
for a good reason.
Hi,
No, niether dpkg-ftp nor dpkg-mountable modify the available
file directly. What, then, causes the problems upgrading to frozen?
Methinks (despite the tone of your remarks) that the problem then
does in fact lie in dpkg; as it seems to accept a packages file that

Hi,
If you really need kernel header files, then the name of your

If the name is not isdnutils-2.0.30, please explain why you
think the package needs kernel
A better solution would be if applications always opened files in /tmp
with O_CREAT | O_EXCL. tmpfile(3) does this but the file is always
644. I think there should be a tmpfilem(mode_t) where the mode could
be specified.
I was forced to implement my own tmpfile(3) from tmpnam(3) to fix
