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.
I never thought of that, but now that you mention it, my find was acting kind of weird. I was using find in an AppleScript project and could only get it to work correctly by using /usr/bin/find. "whereis find" reported it at /usr/bin/find so I thought it was just one of those things (the many things I don't understand, I mean). Just now I ran which, which reports a find at /opt/ast/arch/darwin.ppc/bin/find installed when I added the Korn shell (pre Fink). That's in my path first, so that must be the find I have. I never would have figured that out. I'm sure just changing my path will prevent the AST binaries from causing more mischief. Thanks, Dan!
