It looks to me that the system is looking for
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel... after repacking! I have started working
with debian in January, so I do not have much experience with apt/dpkg.
dpkg-repack does not have many options, but dpkg has millions :-() (I
don't yet know wether to smile or break out in tears about this.)
PROBLEM SOLVED: I am using a debian-system and chroot to an unpacked
knoppix! But uname -r shows 2.4.20, still :-(( This is used in preinst
of the deb package leading to the following problems:
apt-get upgrade
...
(Reading database ... 28068 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace loop-aes 1.5b-1 (using
.../loop-aes_1.6i-1_i386.deb) ...
Leaving `diversion of /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o to
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o.distrib by loop-aes'
Unpacking replacement loop-aes ...

Funny it has not been found by google. Here are the deb's of the
packages you made. Is it possible to put all
other deb packages from the newest CD there? An update of a
knx-hdinstalled KNOPPIX could be done with apropriate sources.list and
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade! In fact that is what my script should
do, but if the ftp-server is out on the net people do not have to
download the complete CD. Just unpack, update, repack and burn the CD!
Well, just an idea to try to reduce downloadtimes.
Thank you very much for your help!
Greetings
Achim
