Except that it doesn't really, it just looks like it - `[ test ] && Die` always fails, either because the test is true and it dies or the test is false and the chain short-circuits. I'm not sure how that got in there, but you can fix it just by changing the pre_install to use != and || instead.
I'm not sure how we can give better failure message there. It really is just that pre_install failed. Perhaps dump out the hook script, but even that is just going to be a bunch of inclusions and variable settings finishing with "pre_install". These bits are a pain to debug so I would welcome any suggestions for making them more communicative. -Michael _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
