Hello:

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

# 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.

Hello Chris,
Looks like the .deb file is corrupted?
