OK, so my 8.3 notes indicate that the first package to create /usr/share/info/dir
is Glibc, and that the second package that tries to write to it is, as you have found, Groff, though there may be some other packages that place content in /usr/share/info/ but which don't try to append the dir file. FWIW, my Glibc "post install" notes say: ----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<---- As glibc has created /etc/ld.so.conf.d it needs to be made an install-dir, so, as the root user chgrp install /etc/ld.so.conf.d chmod g+w,+t /etc/ld.so.conf.d Glibc has created /usr/include/sys, so it needs to be made an install-dir, so again, as the root user chgrp install /usr/include/sys chmod g+w,+t /usr/include/sys Glibc has created /usr/share/info/dir, which other packages will want to append to, so, to make it writeable, as the root user: chgrp install /usr/share/info/dir chmod g+w /usr/share/info/dir ----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<---- -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
