The PostInstScript of system-xfree86 used to nicely display error messages on failure. Now, it just returns an error code, all those "echo" lines in the script are not printed. I think this may be a jaguar "bash as sh" problem. Any shell script gurus care to look at it?Hm, are you sure the echo's are not exectured? Last time I looked (i.e. rev 1 and 2 of it), it failed to print anything because it errored out in a place where it didn't check for any error (wrongly of course). More precisely, this was run w/o checking for the existance of /usr/X11R6/bin/XDarwin first:
/sw/fink/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-system/system-xfree86-4.2- 3.info
It would help a lot on install problems, if the errors actually printed. Esp now that a lot more people will be using the package.
XF_VERSION=`sh -c '/usr/X11R6/bin/XDarwin -version 2>&1' | grep "4.2"`
So it would die on that line. Right now we don't run that at all if Apple's X11 is installed.
Of course, you might still be right, I didn't perform any test, just am wondering which tests you performed :-)
