Folks: I have come across a potential problem while putting together the xfree86-4.2.99.901 package. Xfree86 4.3 installs a font database for fontconfig in /etc/fonts. When you use fink to remove the xfree86 package containing /etc/fonts, dpkg blithely blows away the symlink /private/etc --> /etc, rendering your mac fairly unusable (until you recreate the symlink). I could have xfree86 install the font database in /sw/etc or /usr/X11R6/etc, but that would break compatibility with the official Xfree86 binaries (which I have been scolded for in the past). Does anyone have any other ideas on how to fix this?
