Unfortunately no :( I googled around, and I found some problems related to GNU ar (which is the one I used to create the deb), or related to package signing, but I am still in the dark here. The error itself is generated by apt-extracttemplates,and when I looked with strace, the error is generated in the end (after the components debian_binary, data.tar.gz and control.tar.gz are extracted by ar). I can give you the strace log, if this helps. -- Mugurel Tudor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Linux Registered User: 212231 --------------------------------------------------------- In God we Trust.
