I've tried to find where this is coming from and the only line which uses "--control" is /usr/bin/debsums:491
It is triggered whenever I do something like: apt-get install --reinstall gawk However, this is what gets run: dpkg --control /var/cache/apt/archives/gawk_1%3a3.1.6.dfsg-3_amd64.deb /tmp/vQkt8g7Oc8/DEBIAN So I'm not sure how to reproduce your problem using dpkg 1.15.2 Cheers, Francois -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
