System: NetBSD compaq 1.5ZC NetBSD 1.5ZC (JOACHIM_ISDN) #0: Mon May 20 19:00:09 MEST 2002 joachim@duron:/user/unix/work/NetBSD-current/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/JOACHIM_ISDN i386

>Description:
The gtexinfo PLIST file contains ${INSTALL_INFO} in its @exec and @unexec
lines. INSTALL_INFO ist set to ${PREFIX}/bin/install-info and as such evaluated
when the +CONTENTS file is generated, so it ends up with fixed paths.

When generating a package for gtexinfo, the path where the package got
installed at package create time is thus hardcoded into the +CONTENTS file.

At package installation time, the destination "${PREFIX}" may differ (as in my
case) leading to errors due to failed @exec/@unexec lines in +CONTENTS.

In short: the package is not relocatable.

(I use the NetBSD package system for building a self contained software tree
which a customer can install into a destination directory I do not know in
advance. Setting PKG_DBDIR and using the -p option to pkg_add allows for that)

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/gtexinfo; make package
mkdir -p /tmp/pkg/var/db/pkg
PKG_DBDIR=/tmp/pkg/var/db/pkg pkg_add -p /tmp/pkg \
  /usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386/All/gtexinfo-4.0.tgz

>Fix:
Note: the fix below has the same properties as described in the cvs log for
PLIST:
  define INSTALL_INFO to the very install-info command this package provides
  and use it in post-install *and* PLIST.

apply the following patch to PLIST:
