URGENT FIXES:7v7t3 installpkg / upgradepkg mod & fcron instructions

[wile_coyote]

Due to a permissions problem with installpkg, the following modification needs to be done BEFORE it is used to install any packages:

line 103 of installpkg needs cp -Rp to be changed to cp -R

This can easily be done from within mc (type mc at the prompt) & navigate to the file & use F4 to edit.

A permanent fix will be issued in the next release of 7linux.


Thanks!

Additionally there is a bug in upgradepkg.
mc uses upgradepkg to install packages
The safest fix is to remove upgradepkg until we have a fix & use installpkg instead
You can use the following commands as root to do this...

rm -f /sbin/upgradepkg
ln -sf /sbin/installpkg /sbin/upgradepkg

Also there is no /var/spool/fcron directory which causes fcron starting to fail.
To fix type the following command as root...

mkdir /var/spool/fcron

I did that, but am getting same errors for X, Samba and CUPS.
