In-Reply-To: <5.1.0.14.2.20020925162445.02c96ea8@pop3.cris.com> Message-ID: Importance: Normal MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII This is probably due to the fact that usr/bin/readlink.exe and usr/man/man1/readlink.1 were included (erroneously, I guess) in the tetex-bin-20020530-3 distribution, instead of listing a dependency on cygutils. The new distrib corrects that problem, but uninstalling the old one resulted in losing readlink. As this is not something that can be fixed in the tetex package, people will probably just have to reinstall cygutils. For the future, it would probably be a good idea to have the output of the postinstall scripts logged somewhere (setup.log.full?). Is setup.exe responsible for running the scripts? Also, for the package builder, it might be nice to get a warning if there are file clashes in some packages. This is probably more of a challenge...
