Or even better, in the postinst script, add a symlink from /etc/fonts to
/sw/etc/fonts, then remove THAT in the postrm script. That way there
is no race condition. Something could happen that requires something
in /etc during the short time that it's not there.

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?
