Hi, When I unpack debian packages, they have the following structure: debian-file \- control.tar.gz \- data.tar.gz \- debian-version In control.tar.gz are the postinst, etc. files, in data.tar.gz are all the "normal" files. debian-version is just a number. To see this, unpack a package of your choice with ar x package.deb Note that that unpacks in the current directory, so go somewhere where that is no problem. Is there any reason you don't want to use dpkg-buildpackage, by the way? I can't think of a good reason not to...

It would probably be a good idea to unset your locale setting when pasting such results to an international mailing list. Many people here will not speak german and therefore understand only part of it. Thanks, Bas -- I encourage people to send encrypted e-mail (see http://www.gnupg.org).
