This was on a partition where I had, years ago, made some tests and created a little script ~/bin/CAT which produced the above output. Both bootstrap and the tetex build scripts use a naked "cat" command to create the files where I saw the problem. Instead of /bin/cat, bash is happy to execute ~/bin/CAT. -- Martin - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

[Fink-devel] Mysterious bootstrap bug
A strange story that I cannot explain:
I installed Leopard on a dual G5 and then bootstrapped fink-0.27.7. Then
I installed tetex which refused to work; no fonts found at all. The
weird thing is that all 12 files
/sw/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/*/updmap/*.map have the same content, namely
two lines as follows (literally!):
=>CAT here<=
=>CAT here<=
This text seems to come from the file
fink-0.27.7/perlmod/Fink/FinkVersion.pm which has the lines
sub fink_version {
return "=>CAT here<=";
}
I don't understand any of this, neither why FinkVersion.pm has this (the
bootstrap one, not the one in /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/), nor why this would
propagate into the updmap map files.
On another machine where I did basically the same things, there were no
errors in bootstrapping fink, nor in installing tetex.
