Hi all.
I have tried to install the new XFree packagesm with some trouble; finally
I am running them, but with a bit of handcrafting...just what I noticed to
help debug the package.
First and more important, all the fonts in the dirs 100dpi, 75dpi and misc
look like screwed, thay are all gzipped files of size 20 bytes. I had
to reinstall 4.0.3 from 8.0, save those fonts, and re-copy them over the
hew ones:
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-10.pcf.gz
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-13.pcf.gz
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-14.pcf.gz
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-15.pcf.gz
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-2.pcf.gz
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-3.pcf.gz
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-4.pcf.gz
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 20 May 19 15:09 timR24-ISO8859-9.pcf.gz
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 8480 May 20 15:23 timR24.pcf.gz
(the only ones with size != 20 are those I copied from 4.0.3)
Server cannot find even 'fixed', so it refuses to start. For example, see sizes:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 219322 May 20 14:04
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.0.99.900-1mdk.i586.rpm
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 1275047 May 20 14:33
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.0.3-7mdk.i586.rpm
Second, there is a conflict with Mesa-common. I rpm -e'ed it manually, but
even if you add a conflict or an obsoletes, replaces, etc, XFree does not
include glut
(so if you erase Mesa-common, you have no glut)
So perhaps mesa-common has to be splitted in mesa-glu and mesa-glut, or pack
GLUT apart for XFree-4.1.
And just a detail, /usr/X11R6/lib/libPEX5.so.6 points nowhere.
Happy cooking. And thanks for listening.
