Date: Wed, 04 Sep 1996 09:39:45 -0400 From: "James A. Robinson" Package: dpkg Maintainer: Ian Jackson Version: 1.3.14 I think dpkg may be broken -- when installing dvipsk it seems to either ignore or eat some files in the deb file. I manually unpacked the dvipsk.deb file with dpkg-deb --extract, and the config.ps file was there. Yet when I install it with dpkg -i, it either isn't unextracted or it gets removed. The dvipsk postinst just calls install-info. [lestat:/usr/lib/texmf/dvips]# dpkg -i ~debian/tex/dvipsk_5.58f-5.deb (Reading database ... 32822 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace dvipsk 5.58f-5 (using .../debian/tex/dvipsk_5.58f-5.deb) ... Unpacking replacement dvipsk ... Setting up dvipsk (5.58f-5) ...
