Folks: I have come across a potential problem while putting together theIn the InstallScript in my experimental version, I did:
xfree86-4.2.99.901 package. Xfree86 4.3 installs a font database for
fontconfig in /etc/fonts. When you use fink to remove the xfree86 package
containing /etc/fonts, dpkg blithely blows away the symlink /private/etc
--> /etc, rendering your mac fairly unusable (until you recreate the
symlink). I could have xfree86 install the font database in /sw/etc or
/usr/X11R6/etc, but that would break compatibility with the official
Xfree86 binaries (which I have been scolded for in the past). Does anyone
have any other ideas on how to fix this?
mkdir -p %d/private
mv %d/etc %d/private
Then it doesn't remove the symlink, 'cause the package points to the "real" location.
