Martin, I wonder, though, where dpkg-deb does its work. If we examine David Fang's error message closely dpkg-deb -b root-gcc42-4.1.9999-20070124 /sw/fink/10.4/unstable/main/binary-darwin-i386/languages dpkg-deb: building package `gcc42' in `/sw/fink/10.4/unstable/main/binary-darwin-i386/languages/ gcc42_4.1.9999-20070124_darwin-i386.deb'. tar: ./sw/lib/gcc4.2/include/c++/4.2.0/i686-apple-darwin8/x86_64/bits/stdc+ +.h.gch/O0g.gch: file changed as we read it /sw/bin/dpkg-deb: subprocess tar -cf returned error exit status 1 we see that tar is choking on a file in "./sw"; are we sure that this is actually within the build directory? I wonder if results would be different if we told it to create the .deb inside /sw/fink.build, and only after creating it to move it into place? -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
