Subject: x3270 post install script fails
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 22:17:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <55F9EA66.8080807@tiscali.co.uk> (raw)
The x3270 package performs the following in its post install script:
FONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts
ENCODINGSDIR=$FONTDIR/encodings
MKFONTDIR=/usr/bin/mkfontdir
$MKFONTDIR -e $ENCODINGSDIR $FONTDIR/misc
This fails because the directory '/usr/share/fonts/encodings' no longer
exists. (The directory used to be provided by the 'font-encodings'
package, which is now obsolete).
Probably the best way to resolve this is to add a 'mkdir -p
${ENCODINGSDIR}' to the post install script, rather than just assume its
existence - provided this 'encodings.dir' is still being read by the X
server. Otherwise, use '/usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings' as the encodings
directory.
Dave.
