I'd suggest tracking down which version of tar is being used - from the error, it sounds like it's using the busybox version rather than the gnu one. Use "which tar" along with "ls -l" to check.
Sometimes i use N900 to make a deb file, for me it's more easy becouse i don't waste time to power on the computer.. I can't create deb files by some days, i don't know the cause..
I use to make the deb file using the following structure
work directory
/home/user/WORK/NEW-FOLDER
in NEW-FOLDER i have
DEBIAN
usr
opt
..etcetc..
First of all, i run this from /home/user/WORK# chmod -R +rwx *
chmod -R 775 *
when i start with dpkg -b NEW-FOLDER NEW-FILE-NAME.deb i have this error:
unknown command --format=gnu error in line 1 use tar -cf..
then, i tried to resolve it by myself uninstalling tar, gnu-tar, dpkg, and reinstalling them again... the error is still here... i tryed dpkg --configure -a, apt-get --fix-missing, autoremove, etc... Nothing.. Can u help me to resolve it ?
I need to create deb files from my n900 using the DPKG-DEB command...
