Yes, but i'd like to have a look at the sources as well, out of curiosity :-) Have had no time to go on, but my next attempt will be : downloading a newer version of dpkg - maybe the problem has been solved ... (and if not, i'll do as you say, and i'll bzip2 the sources i want to look at one by one) thanks,
