Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: makedumpfile
$ dpkg --fsys-tarfile .../makedumpfile_1.3.3-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb | tar -tv
...
-rwxr-xr-x root/root 4947 2009-06-23 08:42 ./bin
Package is severely broken - I suspect a missing mkdir in the
installation commands, causing executables to be written as a file named
"/bin" directly, rather than inside the directory.
