After I killed '3028' (rpm -i /share/8x/...) the installation went on. The whole 'rpm' line reads rpm -i /share/8x/ks/rpms/msfonts-0.2-3ne.i586.rpm --nopost I added the '--nopost' because I thought the script 1012 [calypso:/share/8x/ks] =rpm -qp --scripts rpms/msfonts-0.2-3ne.i586.rpm preinstall program: /bin/sh postinstall scriptlet (through /bin/sh): perl -pi \ -e 'print "\t/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ms,\n" if m/Speedo,$/;' \ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config if [ -z "$DURING_INSTALL" ]; then cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ms chkfontpath --add /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ms /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart if [ $DISPLAY'f' != 'f' ]; then set fb rehash fi fi preuninstall program: /bin/sh does something very odd, but this doesn't help. I didn't change this RPM since about a year and about a week ago it worked. Hhum, you might ask: '/share/8x' is properly mounted whithin the chroot environment (all my other stuff works). One further thing: I wonder why 'cupsd' is running during installation!?
