Hello, all.
I am attempting to create a ooRexx 4.2.0 .deb install file for use on a
Ubuntu 16.04 s390x system running as a guest of z/VM on an IBM z
mainframe and I have run into a problem.
I have:
1) downloaded the ooRexx-4.2.0-source.tar.gz fiel and expanded it
2) built ooRexx:
a) ./configure
b) make
c) sudo make install
All works as it should
3) created the "control", "postrm", "prerm", "postinst" and "md5sums"
files based on the ones in the ooRexx-4.2.0-1.ubuntu1310.x86_64.deb
distribution.
4) created the .deb file:
sudo dpkg-deb --build ooRexx-4.2.0
with no errors reports.
5) copied the ooRexx-4.2.0.deb file to another Ubuntu 16.04 guest on z/VM
6) installed it:

I'm not sure why the post-installation script is returning an error
status of 5 and rxapi not being installed. The installation scripts are
exactly the same as the ones used for the x86_64 architecture.
ooRexx seems to get installed, though:

although the Debian package manger doesn't seem to think so.
Can someone point out what I have done incorrectly here?
Thanks and Happy Holidays, too.
