Well, that seems kind of drastic. Also, other .deb files give me problems on --unpack also, and these problems have nothing to do with /usr/... But then some deb files install just fine. That led me to think whether there is a problem with dpkg. A search on the web did turn up some hits on similar problems. Unfortunately no solutions. >and a fsck to make sure the >filesystem's ok Probably not a bad idea. >would probably be the first thing to do in finding out >what's wrong?
