Subject: pkg/unpkg strangeness
Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 16:28:01 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ba545d78275d80c20bb69f732e60954e@u2.sfldmibb.det.wayport.net> (raw)

Someone mailed me pointing out that the old equis package aborts
during installation. I was able to reproduce. On a 386/9pcf system:

	; pkg/install equis-2012.01.11

	-- snip --

	A ps2pdf_spooltodir.sh
	pkg/unpkg: 'ps2pdf_spooltodir.sh' mounted directory forbids creation


I manually unpacked equis-2012.01.11.tbz and found this:

	; ls
	386
	sys
	; du -a * | sed 's/^.*	//g' | grep ps2pdf_spooltodir.sh
	sys/src/pkg/equis-2012.01.11/cmd/X/hw/xprint/config/C/print/models/PS2PDFspooldir-GS/ps2pdf_spooltodir.sh

Makes no sense. The tarball is supposed to just unpack over /. As you
can see, nothing should get created directly in / (/386 and /sys already
exist on every system). pkg/unpkg must be doing something strange.

I do think we saw this before and I forgot to investigate.

Why is this happening?
