But it should look like this: ordnername/DEBIAN ordnername/DEBIAN/control ordnername/usr/bin/file dpkg checks that all files in the DEBIAN directory are ordinary files, not directories. It does this in a rather strange way, by calling rmdir on them and throwing the error when this doesn't fail with "not a directory". BTW, the german translation of the error message sounds even worse than the english original. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
