dpkg-source gives getcwd() error (Potato)

["Mark Mackenzie" <macma@my-deja.com>]

Hi,

I upgraded to Potato on 22/5/99 and am having trouble with dpkg-source.

icarus:~/dnlds/lilo# dpkg-source -x lilo_21-5.dsc
dpkg-source: extracting lilo in lilo-21 shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
icarus:~/dnlds/lilo#

The same error occurs with fbset_?latest?.dsc. I guess it is a permissions problem. Have I been unlucky with two packages or does dpkg-source create the directory with incorrect permissions?

Does anyone have any advice on how to track down the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Mark.
