Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.10
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/dpkg-deb

An innocent enough looking command,
# dpkg -X somepackage.deb /tmp
./
./usr/...

caused my system to go nuts. Users could barely do anything after that.

It turns out that that makes /tmp 755 mode.
I recovered with
# chmod 777 /tmp
# chmod +t /tmp
which was all I could remember without looking things up.

Not sure what to do about this.
Don't change modes of .?
If warning, be sure to print it after (and before too?) the -X output.
