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? sl
