Please accept my apologies, I kindda got very upset when I realized this issue (real problem for me right now). I'll open a bug report. Meanwhile you can test this package, which contains two files: do_not_install_me.txt and install_me.txt. http://gdcm.sourceforge.net/thingies/debpackage-0.0.0-Linux-x86_64.deb See the differences: $ dpkg -c debpackage-0.0.0-Linux-x86_64.deb drwxr-xr-x mmalaterre/mmalaterre 0 2008-04-03 11:31 ./tmp/ drwxr-xr-x mmalaterre/mmalaterre 0 2008-04-03 11:31 ./tmp/very/ drwxr-xr-x mmalaterre/mmalaterre 0 2008-04-03 11:31 ./tmp/very/long/ drwxr-xr-x mmalaterre/mmalaterre 0 2008-04-03 11:31 ./tmp/very/long/pathname/ drwxr-xr-x mmalaterre/mmalaterre 0 2008-04-03 11:31 ./tmp/very/long/pathname/foobar/ drwxr-xr-x mmalaterre/mmalaterre 0 2008-04-03 11:31 ./tmp/very/long/pathname/foobar/hello_world/ drwxr-xr-x mmalaterre/mmalaterre 0 2008-04-03 11:31 ./tmp/very/long/pathname/foobar/hello_world/toreproduceabugindpkg/ drwxr-xr-x mmalaterre/mmalaterre 0 2008-04-03 11:31 ./tmp/very/long/pathname/foobar/hello_world/toreproduceabugindpkg/pleaseconsider/ drwxr-xr-x mmalaterre/mmalaterre 0 2008-04-03 11:31 ./tmp/very/long/pathname/foobar/hello_world/toreproduceabugindpkg/pleaseconsider/123/ -rw-r--r-- mmalaterre/mmalaterre 0 2008-04-03 11:28 ./tmp/very/long/pathname/foobar/hello_world/toreproduceabugindpkg/pleaseconsider/123/do_not_install_me.txt -rw-r--r-- mmalaterre/mmalaterre 0 2008-04-03 11:28 ./tmp/very/long/pathname/foobar/hello_world/toreproduceabugindpkg/pleaseconsider/123/install_me.txt $ sudo dpkg -i debpackage-0.0.0-Linux-x86_64.deb Selecting previously deselected package debpackage.
