And in at least some cases, --b-a-n reveals actual packaging errors. For example, the splint package (currently unmaintained), errors out this way: ... /bin/sh ../config/mkinstalldirs /sw/share/man/man1 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./splint.1 /sw/share/man/man1/splint.1 install: /sw/share/man/man1/splint.1: Permission denied ... I.e. it tries to install stuff directly into /sw. Ooops! I took over the package, fixed this, and updated it to the latest version (from 2007 ;). Other examples of packages that try to install, remove or modify stuff outside the installdir (e.g. in /sw); some hints on how to fix some of them follow below; for details on the error, see the logs under <http://www.snaggledworks.com/fink/fink-build-forever/2010-08-14/nobody/>.

Back to the "modify stuff outside the installdir bug: For several of these this is caused by using ConfigureParams: --mandir=%p/share/man (note the %p instead of %i), but not a custom installscript. Now the default installscript simply does something like make install prefix=%i but since mandir was already set to /sw/share/man, this prefix change won't affect it. bang. Possibly solutions include: 1) use --mandir=%i/share/man (this can cause breakage in other places) 2) use --mandir='${prefix}/share/man' (usually safe, at least for most packages) 3) keep using --mandir=%p/share/man but ad a custom InstallScript, typically: make install DESTDIR=%d Using the third option is what I prefer, but *only* if the package actually support it! Incorrect use of DESTDIR actually cause the "modify outside installdir" error for several packages on the list above (e.g. in etpan-ng). Moreover, some packages (e.g. qtwitter-aqua) try to rm -rf stuff in/usr/bin -- ouch, that seems pretty evil, too :).
