I created my package, called mymods.tgz and copied it to packages/All in the distribution tree on the installation server, and I added the following to packages/INDEX: mymods||/|my modifications||brian@acm.jhu.edu|||| Then I told install.cfg to do a post-install of mymods. However, when the installation runs, sysinstall complains that it cannot fetch the package, although it fetches everything else correctly, including other packages. What is going wrong here? I sense there's a problem with that INDEX record, but I suppose it could be something else.
