I think it happened when I ported to 4.5 from 4.2. The only solution I've found, pain in the neck that it is, is to create the destination directories on the source box. That keeps pkg_create happy, and the proper files are still picked up from the where they're specified by SRCDIR. I meant to raise this a long time ago, but I got busy, my package creation box was set up so that pkg_create didn't complain, and out of sight = out of mind... :-) Cheers, DMK
