I repeated this several times. It happens consistently. If the exit is a part of the script started by bash -e, then that shouldn't happen. If it is after the script, I can see that. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

That particular package is somewhere in the middle of the md5 file. Nothing following it was installed. All of this happened without a lot of visual evidence that anything went awry. The two single lines reporting the error are plainly there if I am looking for them, but not particularly noticeable the first time as I was moving fast through this stuff as usual. Anyway, the one thing that made me stop and start looking at it was that the exit command logged me out of the console instead of merely dropping back to the previous shell. I repeated this several times. It happens consistently. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I can see that a several directories may be kept that are not needed, but all the files should still be installed. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

It's more about how I easily could have overlooked this and moved on not knowing that about 600 files did not get installed. I experimented with re-installing Xorg Fonts again with sudo as currently written in the book, and also again as root, and again with the as_root function added to the rm -rf line. The script as it is in the book consistently exits the shell after installing that particular package. Installing Xorg Fonts as root or with the extra as_root function call both install identical complete package sets (I'm using a timestamp package logging script). I just sort of viewed this a potential defect in the those Xorg installation scripts. Maybe not though. Could just be some kind of local issue with me. So long.

Some packages modify or create packages in the local directory when doing a make install so when you exit sudo, you can't delete those files in the directory. Just go ahead and use sudo to delete. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
