Strange error while learning to create debs.

["Miguel A. Figueroa" <figueroa@satlug.org>]

Hello,

I have a strange error here. Going over docs and stuff to learn about
creating packages, I have the following files created from
a current enlightenment source download. I removed the debian
subdirectory that came from the CVS version so I can learn following
examples. Anyway, these are the files that are created:

penguin:/opt# ls -l *.deb
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       858488 Sep  2 13:08
dox_0.16-0.5_i386.deb
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        17776 Sep  2 13:07
enlightenment-docs_0.16-0.5_all.deb
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root      5055830 Sep  2 13:07
enlightenment-theme_0.16-0.5_all.deb
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       285274 Sep  2 13:08
enlightenment_0.16-0.5_i386.deb

Now, the dox, enlightenment-docs install fine. The actual
enlightenment*.deb will not load since it depends on
enlightenment-theme*.deb. Trying to do a dpkg install returns this
error:

penguin:/opt# dpkg -i enlightenment*theme*.deb
(Reading database ... 52248 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking enlightenment-theme (from
enlightenment-theme_0.16-0.5_all.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing enlightenment-theme_0.16-0.5_all.deb (--install):
 corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 enlightenment-theme_0.16-0.5_all.deb
penguin:/opt#

I have recreated this over and over and the .deb file above comes up
with this everytime.

Any advice, help etc would be appreciated.

Thanks
