I'm working on an upgrade to security/bro. The new version is requires
that I install a perl module in SITE_PERL so that the configuration script
will run correctly. When I tried to add the module to pkg-plist, the
deletion of the file failed because deinstall was prepending PREFIX to
SITE_PERL, making the path invalid.
To get around this problem I wrote a one line pkg-deinstall script that
deletes the file. The script does what you would expect, but then it
returns an error.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] find /usr/local/lib/perl5/ -name IP4.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mach/IP4.pm
[EMAIL PROTECTED] make deinstall PREFIX=/var/tmp/$(make -V PORTNAME)
===> Deinstalling for security/bro
===> Deinstalling bro-1.1d
rm: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mach/IP4.pm: No such file or
directory
pkg_delete: post-deinstall script returned error status
[EMAIL PROTECTED] find /usr/local/lib/perl5/ -name IP4.pm
As you can see, the file was removed, but the script returns an error. If
I manually copy the module to SITE_PERL and then manually run
pkg-deinstall, the module is removed with no errors.
What the heck is causing this error message?
Here's the pkg-deinstall script:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] less files/pkg-deinstall.in
#!/bin/sh
# Since pkg-plist prepends PREFIX to SITE_PERL,
# we can't remove this file in the normal way
/bin/rm %%SITE_PERL%%/mach/IP4.pm
It's listed in the Makefile as one of the SUB_FILES, and SUB_LIST includes
SITE_PERL=${SITE_PERL).
