dpkg command in 7.4 seems to be different

[Christopher Gray]

Hello:

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

      # 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.

Thank you.

Chris
