#5 Re: dpkg -x Posted by ptecza (193.0.xx.xx) on Tue 29 Mar 2005 at 14:33 Do you mean `dpkg -x dpkg -x ...` command? What version of dpkg does support it? It doesn't work on my Woody box: $ mkdir tmp $ LC_MESSAGES=en_US dpkg -x dpkg -x debian-updates_1.5-1_all.deb tmp/ dpkg-deb: --extract takes at most two arguments (.deb and directory) Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files; Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages.
