The problem appears to be that we started with /usr/share/calendar/ directories of the form de_DE.ISO_8859-1. At some point symlinks were created so you could also use de_DE.ISO8859-1. With the rename of these, we have a problems. directories are created via mtree and it is set up to complain, but not fail if it encounters a link when it expects a directory (and rightly so). The problem is that you end up with a set of links like this: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16 Jun 10 10:06 hr_HR.ISO8859-2 -> hr_HR.ISO_= 8859-2 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 15 Jun 21 01:58 hr_HR.ISO_8859-2 -> hr_HR.ISO= 8859-2 Then install barfs. The solution is to delete de_DE.ISO8859-1 and hr_HR.ISO8859-2. This may deserve an UPDATING entry. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
