You also need to gzip the Packages files afterwards, or apt will fail obscurely. I have a bug report open against dpkg-dev (#65839) asking that the documentation mention this. The override file is described in dpkg-scanpackages(8). Incidentally, if you don't care, you can just use /dev/null as your override file. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
