filenames with more than 100 chars ?



Hello list !

Well tar has no problems with filenames that are longer than 100 chars.
It just keeps printing ././@LongLink for every file but unpacks without
problems.

But now lintian starts complaining about it (hey, ././ *is* a uncommon
directory :-)) but even worse dpkg refuses to unpack it since it claims
that the tarball is corrupt !

How to solve this ?

read you,
