I tried that but got no match. The man page talks about not showing files created by maintainer scripts, which may be the case. The file I am chasing is: /var/lib/dpkg/info/hicolor-icon-theme.postinst
That'll be the post install script for the hicolor-icon-theme package.
cheers! Chris
I checked for the file on a current Debian install, and it was there, but dpkg did not know where it came from. It is a relatively short and simple shell script, and I have attached a copy for you to compare. Others might have comment about how your copy varies from what it should be. Regards, Mark Trickett
