>Description:
postinstall is chatty about X11R6. It looks to be referring to endpoints =
'through' the non-existing dir. Its a minor hassle, it reports stderr =
output about a missing directory.


>How-To-Repeat:
postinstall -s /path/to/etc.tgz fix
>Fix:

minor rev to comment out any test *UNDER* X11R6 if it doesn't exist as a =
dir? Looks like it does some [ -d ... ] checks which expect =
/usr/X11R6/some/path to be the testpoint, and shell test is verbose when =
a parent in the path is missing.

Responsible-Changed-By: dholland@NetBSD.org
Responsible-Changed-When: Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:59:56 +0000
Responsible-Changed-Why:
postinstall isn't part of the installer (despite what one might think...)
so use "bin". (should we have a separate category for build system problems?)
