dpkg command in 7.4 seems to be different

Hello:

In 6.10, I had no problem with the dpkg command. However, in 7.4, when I issue

# dpkg -i imapd.deb

I get

tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit dealyed from previous errors
...

There are some other errors with other .deb files, but the baseline problem is
that dpkg seems to work differently than before. Any suggestion would be
greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Chris
