You're right, removing the directory listings without files fixes the problem - since "dpkg -L" outputs a list containing these it never occurred to me that they were not required.
A quick test of gcc1-with-libs.dsl (i.e. something not made by me) reveals that it seems to have the same problem
Thanks for the helpYes, as ke4nt1 points out, there is a 'right' way to build a dsl file. You never want to have an empty dir in the dsl file unless the application needs it for some reason. Sometimes you get lucky and it works and sometimes it doesn't.
ChrisThanks ke4nt1! As many may know ke4nt1 has contributed many extensions and has helped many users with the fine points of their creation. When I first developed the mydsl system, ke4nt1 was the first that fully understood the concept. As my focus is always on the core and the creation and supporting of the mydsl infrastructure, I don't have much time to spend with the individual extensions. Your continued support is much appreciated.I am thinking that this might be a good thread to post those uncs that have been created and tested with the dsl2unc script.
If you post the names know good uncs converted via the script, then I can run the script on the server side.
This way we can avoid the re-sending and re-posting of these extensions. And we shall be able to have more uncs to use.

I converted the gtk2 version of abiword and ran it successfully.
