Speaking of shtool, I ran into a problem updating openpkg from OpenPKG Release 1.3 to Release 2.0 on a Caldera eDesktop 2.4 Linux system last weekend. It turned out that the system's /bin/sh was barfing on some of the shtool path tests in the openpkg build where it was looking for tar, ar, and similar programs. I hacked around this by linking the OpenPKG version of bash to $l_prefix/bin/sh so it no longer quit with Memory Faults. I ran into more problems with shtool later in the rebuilding process, and hacked the shtool script, replacing the ``#!/bin/sh'' with a reference to the OpenPKG version of bash. I know I'm working with an old, unsupported, version of Linux here, but thought that this might be of interest when dealing with other platforms.
