This is what dpkg-deb -c gave me:

/home/user # dpkg-deb -c /media/mmc2/numptyphysics_0.1_armel.deb
drwxr-xr-x 0/0 0 2008-04-01 15:11:15 .
drwxr-xr-x 0/0 0 2008-04-01 15:11:13 ./usr
drwxr-xr-x 0/0 0 2008-04-01 15:11:15 ./usr/bin
-rwxr-xr-x 0/0 167340 2008-04-01 15:11:15 ./usr/bin/numptyphysics
tar: Short header
dpkg-deb: subprocess tar returned error exit status 1
/home/user #

I find it confusing, as I definitely don't have ./usr/bin/numptyphysics. Then again, that was just about the only part of the output I somewhat understood, so...

EDIT: I forgot: I deleted my first download and re-downloaded the install file again. I tried to install it prior to this diagnostic run and got the same result as the first time.
