Eek. Yeah that makes perfect sense of course <sigh>.I just try to install fink from CVS on 10.2.2. I get the following error while trying to run bootstrap:Selecting previously deselected package gzip. (Reading database ... 130 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking gzip (from .../gzip_1.2.4a-6_darwin-powerpc.deb) ... Setting up gzip (1.2.4a-6) ... /sw/var/lib/dpkg/info/gzip.postinst: /sw/sbin/install-info: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing gzip (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: gzip ### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1 can't install package gzip-1.2.4a-6
During bootstrap, binarse are not in /sw/bin etc. but rather in /sw/bootstrap/bin etc... so hard coding /sw/sbin/install-info isn't such a good idea after all..
The tar and gettext package also use InfoDocs so they will be affected, too.
This is tricky, as we can't just hard code the bootstrap path during bootstrap, either - users might to re-install the gzip/tar/gettext package later, too, and then the bootstrap dir is gone, so if their postinst script refers to that it's bad.
One possible "solution" could be to temporarily make /sw/sbin/install-info a symlink during the bootstrap. Alas, that would require some fiddling... maybe there is a more elegant solution?
Cheers,
Max
