Subject:	x3270 post install script fails
Message-ID:	<55F9EA66.8080807@tiscali.co.uk>
Date:	Wed, 16 Sep 2015 23:17:10 +0100
User-Agent:	Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/38.2.0
MIME-Version:	1.0
X-IsSubscribed:	yes

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.
