zircon$ dpkg -L xbase | grep README /usr/doc/xbase/README.Debian zircon$ ls -l /usr/doc/xbase/README.Debian ls: /usr/doc/xbase/README.Debian: No such file or directory FWIW, the previous version of xbase was 3.3.2.2-4, according to /var/lib/dpkg/status.yesterday. Judging from timestamps in dpkg-deb -c xbase_3.3.2.3a-8.1.deb and in the filesystem, other files in /usr/doc/xbase did install correctly. Peter Maydell
