Alexander: Do you have a patch or a workaround for this issue? Else we can probably move this bug to the next release with a warning in the current release.

comment:3 by alexander@…, 20 years ago

No, but it is a blocker for hotplug being included into LFS book.

Milestone: 5.1 → 6.0

hotplug is not in lfs-5.1.x. So we can safely move this to the next release.

comment:6 by alexander@…, 20 years ago

It is safe only if nothing else tries to pass the "-f" option to readlink.

Just if it matters: I can confirm that; this is from my tetex installation log: install -c readlink /usr/bin install -c -m 644 readlink.1 /usr/man/man1/readlink.1

Resolution: → fixed
Status: new → closed

The remove_readlink patch works as expected and the TeX installation does not attempt to install readlink or the man page. Confirmed 7/2/04 during a Tex install.
