It looks a lot like a bug with dpkg, but I don't know what is happening. It is too bad that dpkg doesn't ever tell you *where* the `No such file or directory' was, or I'd have some idea of what to look at next. Perhaps you should file this as a bug against dpkg, -- Gordon Matzigkeit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> //\ I'm a FIG (http://www.fig.org/) Lovers of freedom, unite! \// I use GNU (http://www.gnu.org/)
