The thing is I used "replace" in the first place instead of embed but it resulted in dh_linktree dpkg-query: error: --search needs at least one file name pattern argument Use --help for help about querying packages. dh_linktree: error: dpkg --search -- gave error exit status 2 when replacing whole directories. Is there any chance to do a "replace directory"? Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
