Good thought. Yes, $prefix is on a mounted file system. But that is a mandatory
requirement for us since we need to
allow many users to have access to this openpkg instance in that fashion.
I might also mention that openpkg-1.3.1-1.3.1 did not complain about this.
Any thoughts about how to get around this? It would be a show-stopper for us if
openpkg was going to stop supporting NFS
mounted file systems.
Thanks,
Dennis
