Bug ID: 196626
Summary: [archivers/dpkg] "update-alternatives" command needs
directory "/usr/local/var/log"
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)
Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
Reporter: antumdeluge at gmail.com
After installing archivers/dpkg, running the "update-alternatives" command
results in the following:
$ update-alternatives --install /usr/local/bin/gcc4 gcc4 /usr/local/bin/gcc48
100
update-alternatives: error: cannot append to
'/usr/local/var/log/alternatives.log': No such file or directory
I created a patch for the Makefile that creates this directory post-install.
I'm not sure if I did it in the right format. This is the command that I used:
$ diff -uN Makefile.orig Makefile > dpkg-Makefile.patch
I figured that I don't use the "make makepatch" for this instance because the
changes have nothing to do with the source code.
