Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.10 Severity: minor File: /usr/bin/dpkg-deb I notice that # dpkg -X bla.deb / won't extract into the root directory. True the man page says Note that extracting a package to the root directory will not result in a correct installation ! Use dpkg to install packages. But I still think it would be better to exit 1 with a message, instead of seeming to do what is asked but actually doing something different.
Or maybe there is a message, but it gets lost in the -X output. Indeed, the user might not want to extract into the current directory, wiping out precious files, but that is what happens I recall if one does dpkg -X bla.deb / -X, -x affected. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
