#18 xemacs install fails

[Anonymous]

After quite a while "chewing" on xemacs, I get to
this point and fink quits.

mkdir -p /sw/src/root-libjpeg-6b-1/sw/var/fink-
stamp
touch /sw/src/root-libjpeg-6b-1/sw/var/fink-stamp/
libjpeg-6b-1
rm -f /sw/src/root-libjpeg-6b-1/sw/info/dir /sw/src/
root-libjpeg-6b-1/sw/share/info/dir
rm -rf libjpeg-6b-1
rm: cannot remove directory `libjpeg-6b-1/jpeg-6b':
Directory not empty
rm: cannot remove directory `libjpeg-6b-1':

The underlying problem is that 'rm -rf' sometimes
doesn't work correctly. This has nothing to do with
xemacs in particular, it also happens with other
packages. This is a problem that we can not fix,
because it is an issue with the kernel and/or the rm
binary shipped by Apple. It is also not reproducable on
all machines.

However, recent CVS versions of fink (the package
manager part) are more generous with rm -rf failures
where possible. You may want to check it out or wait for
the 0.2.2 release.

The Fink 0.2.2 release includes a workaround for this
problem. Closing the report.
