Hello. I'm running testing, and last night I tried to install j2sdk1.3.1 from Blackdown. Everything went fine, until apt got to the doc-installer. It started to unpack the zip, and then dies when it wants to move the doc dir from a tmp dir it's made. It looks in the _wrong_ place, so there's apparently something hosed in the installer deb.
So... what I want to know is there any way to hack the deb file (I've never built a deb before :\ ) to fix this annoyance? I've tried to move the dir and re-run dpkg on this pkg, but it just nukes the dirs and rebuilds them wrong (or right, depending on what part of the script you believe, I guess). I've filed a bug report, but my work awaits, and my stress level is climbing. I'm sure if I could unpack it, hack the script and rebuild the deb everything would be fine, but I suspect that it's not so simple. Besides, I don't exactly know where to start with the deb. Any ideas? On that note; would it have been better to have grabbed the woody pkgs instead of the potato pkgs? TIA, Mike
