I'm building BLFS from a recent development version. The package font-bh-ttf-1.0.3.tar.bz2 in Xorg Fonts causes the installation script to exit with an error...
rm: cannot remove 'font-bh-ttf-1.0.3/@baseconfigdir@/conf.avail/42-luxi-mono.conf': Permission denied rm: cannot remove 'font-bh-ttf-1.0.3/@baseconfigdir@/conf.d/42-luxi-mono.conf': Permission denied So some files did not get installed, and it wasn't really obvious either. I might not have known except for noticing that the exit command did not return to the previous shell but logged me out of the console. And there was the build directory still sitting there in the font directory. I'm running the Xorg scripts as an ordinary user and Sudo is installed, so the as_root function is using the sudo "if" condition. I reproduced this issue by attempting to re-install font-bh-ttf-1.0.3 manually. The ordinary user cannot delete this package's build directory (and perhaps others, who knows). I could remove it with sudo. I often find that root is required to delete build directories. Anyway, I don't know if this affects other people or not. What's your opinion of adding the as_ root function to the rm -rf $packagedir command in these Xorg scripts? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
