Yes, 'dpkg -c foo.deb' (--contents). 'dpkg -I foo.deb' (--info) shows you some other information about the package. >- If I build a debian-package for a program that needs p.e. > /var/log/ppplog.

You can just create it in debian/rules and put it in the package. With dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 you can put setuid/setgid permissions on things in packages, too (previously suidmanager was used). -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
