Hi, How can I fix the "dpkg-deb: error: control directory has bad permissions" error?
I was simply trying to use pbuilder-satisfydepends with the emacs source package. apt-get source emacs24 cd emacs24* sudo /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends and this is what I get: $ sudo /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends -> Attempting to satisfy build-dependencies -> Creating pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy package Package: pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy Version: 0.invalid.0 Architecture: i386 Maintainer: Debian Pbuilder Team <pbuilder-ma...@lists.alioth.debian.org> Description: Dummy package to satisfy dependencies with aptitude - created by pbuilder This package was created automatically by pbuilder to satisfy the build-dependencies of the package being currently built.

Then, in desperation, I did chmod -R 0755 . under the whole directory, but I still get the above problem. Anyone can help?
