Package: dpkg or possibly dpkg-deb Version: from Debian Slink release (2.5 ?)
I have problems installing a package that I built myself. It builds fine without error, but trying to install it, causes an error suggesting that the tar in the .deb is corrupted. Trying to debug it or to convert it to something else, using alien, I found that the tar seems to contain a ././@LongLink entry of unknown type "L" (as opposed to types fdls) Also, the problem only happens when I include some documentation files with rather long filenames (i.e. > approx 40-50 characters long). Leaving them out of the archive "fixes" the problem. I am using Debian 2.1 slink, kernel version 2.2.x/x86. -- Karsten Ball�der http://Ballueder.home.dhs.org/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Physics Department, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, EH14 4AS, Scotland Tel. +44-(0)-131-4513068 Fax. +44-(0)-131-4513136 "In a world without fences, who needs Gates?"
