I think it's a limit of 100 characters (leading slash is probably removed) in the POSIX tar archive format used inside of a .deb: http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/tar/tar_114.html Some discussions on Debian's bug trackers seem to imply that they are doing something with dpkg to use the 256-character limit (possibly by passing some options to tar). -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
