Hi, I have a question:
I am currently working on a port on csound. In package csound all manuals are linked to csound.1.gz. In de archive the csound.1.gz is not the first file to be extracted (see below). When installing a package when there is no valid link, dpkg segfaults on chown. Is this a problem with dpkg or do i try to reorder the man dir in the archive (with tar flags)??? When manually copying this file and installing all is well. Thanks, B.
