Mmh. This md5sum is correct. I did run dpkg --fsys-tarfile on it, and it succeeded. You may want to check your (native) dpkg and tar programs. Maybe there is an incompatibility. Also let me know from when your dpkg-hurd is (latest is from 1 Jun 1999). The problem is not in the deb package. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
