Re: Re: installworld fails - nb_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME: too many levels of symbolic links
The problem is that both of the files: /usr/share/locale/nb_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME and /usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME ... are symbolic links ... to each other. The solution is to remove one symlink and replace it with a real file as shown below: rm -f /usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME touch /usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME Now /usr/share/locale/nb_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME is a symbolic link and /usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME is a real (albeot zero length) file. And, yes, someone ought to fix this in CVS. -- Greg > On Saturday 31 January 2009 07:09:39 Anton Shterenlikht wrote: > > I'm upgrading from 7.1-prerelease to 7.1-stable.
