How can I unpack a .deb on Mac OS X without installing it? I have a .deb file that I want to unpack and examine, but not install. I'm currently looking for where i can download dpkg for OSX, but can't find it. If you have a link, please share.
ar is already installed on my mac on OS X. So just do

ar -x path/to/deb/file.deb


that's it. No need to install other software.
