Hi all, So, here's a strange one. I'm trying to install tcltk, plus -dev and -shlibs. All 3 build fine, and all but tcltk-dev install correctly. The -dev package fails to install and says
error creating hard link `./Volumes/star1.lns.mit.edu/STAR/opt/star/ osx48_i386_gcc401/share/man/man3/Tcl_DeleteChannelHandler.3': No such file or directory where /Volumes/.../gcc401/ is the root of my Fink install. Now, if I look in the .deb this file is a hard link to Tcl_CreateChannelHandler.3: hr--r--r-- root/admin 0 2007-01-04 19:24 ./Volumes/ star1.lns.mit.edu/STAR/opt/star/osx48_i386_gcc401/share/man/man3/ Tcl_DeleteChannelHandler.3 link to ./Volumes/star1.lns.mit.edu/STAR/ opt/star/osx48_i386_gcc401/share/man/man3/Tcl_CreateChannelHandler.3 CreateChannelHandler is a real file in the .deb and it gets installed just fine. I can't figure out why dpkg thinks there's a problem, but then again I'm no Debian pro. If I extract the contents of the .deb into a test directory everything comes out fine. I try to hack my way around by: 1) extract .deb 2) rm DeleteChannelHandler 3) cp CreateChannelHandler DeleteChannelHandler 4) dpkg --build 5) dpkg --install That removes the error in question, but then it goes on to other files. In the end I do this for Tk_DeleteClientMessageHandler.3 (Tk_CreateClientMessageHandler.3) Tk_SetWindowBackgroundPixmap.3 (Tk_ChangeWindowAttributes.3) Tk_SetWindowBorderPixmap.3 (Tk_ChangeWindowAttributes.3) And now tcltk-dev is listed as installed. What happened here? Should I file a bug report?
