dpkg-repack won't work and complains about bad permissions, but I don't see bad permissions. Example:
drwxr-xr-x 85 root root 7168 Oct 15 01:02 /etc drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 1024 Aug 25 14:00 /usr drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Dec 14 1998 /usr/lib/wine But the errors are: lilypad:/home/pollywog#dpkg-repack wine -- Creating control files -- Copying files dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /. dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /etc dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /usr dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /usr/X11R6 dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /usr/X11R6/bin dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /usr/X11R6/man dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /usr/X11R6/man/man1 dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /usr/X11R6/lib dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /usr/lib dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /usr/lib/wine dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /usr/sbin dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /usr/bin dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /usr/info dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /usr/man dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /usr/man/man1 dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /usr/doc dpkg-repack: Bad perms on directory: /usr/doc/wine -- Building package dpkg-deb: building package `wine' in `./wine_0.0.981018-1.1_i386.deb'. dpkg-deb: control directory has bad permissions 2755 (must be >=0755 and <=0775) dpkg-repack: Error running: dpkg --build ./dpkg-repack-31632 . -- Cleaning up dpkg-repack: Errors were encountered in processing. dpkg-repack: The package may not unpack correctly.
