I followed the instructions from here (Easily unpack DEB, edit postinst, and repack DEB) to update a bad deb archive (only commenting two lines).
$ mkdir tmp
$ dpkg-deb -R original.deb tmp
# sudo vim tmp/DEBIAN/postinst
$ dpkg-deb -b tmp fixed.deb
But when I try to install the generated deb, I got a strange error
$ sudo dpkg -i fixed.deb
dpkg-deb: error: archive 'fixed.deb' has premature member 'control.tar.xz' before 'control.tar.gz', giving up
dpkg: error processing archive fixed.deb (--install):
subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
fixed.deb
What is wrong in your opinion ?

You can only have one `control.tar.*" file; the error seems to be in English, I think.

but the control.tar archive is generated by the dpkg-deb command :/
