> ...dpkg-deb: wait for tar failed: No child processes Have you manually installed some other tar program? Can you run dpkg through strace like this:
# strace -f -o dpkg.strace dpkg <your normal options> and send us the output. I want to see what is happening with tar. Actually, try doing the command: # dpkg-deb --control foo.deb Use any random .deb package for this. This appears to be the actual command that fails. If you can reproduce it with that command, then use it in the same strace command shown above and send the "dpkg.out" file when you duplicate the failure. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
