Hi,<br><br>I still cannot get the symbolic links created inside the .deb package. I can of course manually place the .desktop file also in the /etc/others-menu/extra_applications, but still it would be nice if the package.links
file would work. Could this be caused by old dpkg-deb version or something? The uitest.links file that I've created is inside .deb package when i decompress the package with "ar x". The links file looks like this....
