Sounds like you have a broken command named "find" in your PATH, which I think at the stage dpkg-deb is running is probably just: /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin Perhaps at some point you installed some other version of find into one of those dirs? It's a Bad Idea to replace any Apple-supplied binaries, since many programs rely on them behaving *exactly* as they do as supplied by Apple. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
