So I suppose I'll have to figure it out for myself (sigh). This should be an apt-get option. Apt-get --rebuild. (insert arbitrary complaint about dpkg having a user interface that I wouldn't care to see in the mirror when I wake up ..). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter T.

Install the dpkg-repack package, it's not part of the standard dpkg, and it works perfectly well. Ben
