Thanks Ink Bottle.
Very interesting. Never knew about edos-debcheck.
I see what you mean. It is an unusual command and thus a bit of
challenge for me to understand and use. Also, I'm not convinced that I
can run this on a debian package file, such as a debian package I
create and is not known by the package manager.
I think Chris' suggestion of dpkg -I is still my best option but I
appreciate all the ideas and will continue to look into them.
Thanks for the idea!
Paul
