I use the .deb files. here is a list of things that i have fixed on my system. I'm
posting them for future deb-ers to see, and to give ideas to the next person creating
the packages.
#1. /etc/init.d/{auth*,codasrv*} make reference to /var/lock/subsys. Debian has a
/var/lock directory, but no /var/lock/subsys directory. Either mkdir /var/lock/subsys
or edit the scripts to refer to /var/lock. (note: i don't belive there is a
/var/lock/subsys in the filesystem standard. if there is, we should report it as a
debian bug)
#2. /etc/init.d/coda-update uses a variable $vicedir, but vicedir never gets
initialized to any value :) So solve this initialize it yourself, as vicedir=/vice.
#3. vice-setup initializes rvm_log and rvm_data without pathnames. add them manually
as "/vice/db/rvm_log" and "/vice/db/rvm_data" as mentioned in someones eirlier mail.
#4 the "packages" list is missing. create this by downloading everything into a
directory, then use the dpkg-scanpackages command. "dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null >
Packages"

Other notes: I hosed my access controll list... I think i did it by setting
permissions for non-existant users, (like "cfs setacl AnyUser" instead of "cfs setacl
System:AnyUser"). I'm not really shure how i did it, but recovering from it, seems to
be dificult. My solution was to re-install the OS and start again.

and finally, for my eirlier problem

it took me so long to solve that pathname thing, that i forgot that i
had more steps to do. doh! :)
