Well, that isn't exactly why I posted about this. I already knew to delete the directory as root. It's more about how I easily could have overlooked this and moved on not knowing that about 600 files did not get installed. I experimented with re-installing Xorg Fonts again with sudo as currently written in the book, and also again as root, and again with the as_root function added to the rm -rf line. The script as it is in the book consistently exits the shell after installing that particular package. Installing Xorg Fonts as root or with the extra as_root function call both install identical complete package sets (I'm using a timestamp package logging script). I just sort of viewed this a potential defect in the those Xorg installation scripts. Maybe not though. Could just be some kind of local issue with me. So long.
