>Release: FreeBSD 3.0-971208-SNAP i386
>Environment:
Clean system. emacs-19.34b package fetched from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages on 12/13/97.
>Description:
This port has two problems. First, it assumes that the info
dist was installed (/usr/share/info).
Second, it tries to install a "ccmode" info file that is not
delivered with the package.
Here are the errors:
sed: /usr/share/info/dir: No such file or directory
pkg_add: command '[ -f /usr/local/info/dir ] || sed -ne '1,/Menu:/p' /usr/share/info/dir > /usr/local/info/dir' failed
install-info: No such file or directory for /usr/local/info/ccmode
pkg_add: command 'install-info /usr/local/info/ccmode /usr/local/info/dir' failed
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the emacs-19.34b -current package from ftp.freebsd.org.
>Fix:
This isn't a fix, but just the workaround I used:
1) Install the info dist before installing emacs (this avoids the
first two errors)
2) Hack the emacs package's +CONTENTS file and remove install
references to the missing ccmode info file before installing emacs
(this avoids the last two errors)
