In the process of messing around w/ the scripts in /etc/postinstall I
ran into a problem w/ find. In an attempt to find scripts where both
the '.sh' and the '.sh.done' versions existed I typed the command:
find . -name "*.sh" -exec ls \{\}.done \;
This caused some strange error messages, and left some stalled
processes running 'find' behind. (I can't run this command now because
the successful run of setup.exe cleaned them all up, but here's the
output of a similar use of '-exec' in find:
$ find . -name "*.sh.done" -exec ls \{\} \;

It takes quite a long time to get a command prompt back after these
error messages, and it leaves behing a stalled process.
Is this releated somehow to my many failed attempts to run setup.exe,
or is it a know problem w/ find?
Could be a rebase issue. Try installing the package, read the README, and
follow the instructions for rebasing your system.
I ran rebaseall (w/ no arguments) and the above find command still fails
in the same way. Anything else I can try?
Is there a way to save the list of installed packages and do a clean
install?

Eric
