Is it the src/redboot/*c files that it's complaining about?

Ah, apparently something has been added to the .epk format.

Just guessing:
Untar the package file in an empty directory:
$ mkdir tmp
$ tar -C tmp -xzvf snds-current.epk
Create a pkgadd.txt file:
$ echo "pkgadd.txt file contents" >tmp/pkgadd.txt
Recreate the tarball:
$ tar -C tmp -czvf snds-current.epk pkgadd.txt pkgadd.db hal
I'll remove the references to src/redboot and I'll try to find
out what belongs in pkgadd.txt. Hopefully I can put a fixed .epk
file up on my ftp site this evening after my vollyball game.
