The postinst contains: #!/bin/sh - set -e PHDIR=/usr/lib/perl5/i486-linux makeheaders () { echo "Creating Perl header files. This may take a while..." (cd /usr/include; find . -type d | (cd $PHDIR; xargs install -d)) (cd /usr/include; find . -name '*.h' | xargs h2ph ) > /dev/null (cd /usr/include; h2ph linux/* asm/* ) > /dev/null (cd /usr/local/include; find . -type d | (cd $PHDIR; xargs install -d)) (cd /usr/local/include; for i in `find . -name '*.h'` do cat $i | h2ph > $PHDIR/`echo $i | sed -e 's/\.h$/\.ph/'`; done; ) > /dev/null [...] Suggest that a test be made for the presence of /usr/local/include or, possibly, that stderr be sent to /dev/null. mitchell@mdd.comm.mot.com (Bill Mitchell) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Bill Mitchell : New bug report received and forwarded.
