[Bashdb-devel] bash install bug

[R. B. <ro...@pa...>]

I recently noticed an installation problem in bashdb which was just
fixed in CVS. Debugger files dbg-sig.inc, etc. don't get installed
properly (e.g. in say /usr/local/share/bashdb) Actually they do get
installed, but they then get removed when a symlink from
bashdb-main.inc gets added to dbg-main.inc.

I've put in a somewhat horrible hack on top of that existing hack to
make sure that if the rm is done we re-install the package
files. There's probably a better way. 

I'm sure folks have mentioned this in the past. In fact I think
someone recently mentioned this I think with respect to installing on
OSX. And alas I can't find the email, posting or my response (or I'd
send that person an update). I recall mentioning using remake to track
the problem down. And in fact that's what I just did for
myself. (Remake segv'd with a glibc free error but that's another matter.)
