Re: pkgsrc bootstrap fails on DilOS

[Hung Nguyen Gia <gh_origin%zohomail.com@localhost>]

I tried to create a few more symlinks:

sudo ln -s /usr/ccs/sed /usr/ccs/gsed
sudo ln -s /usr/ccs/soelim /usr/ccs/gsoelim
sudo ln -s /usr/ccs/m4 /usr/ccs/gm4
sudo ln -s /usr/ccs/nroff /usr/ccs/gnroff

But this doesn't help. It still stucks at 'Generating post-install file lists'.

Later I found out on DilOS, /usr/ccs is a symlink to /bin and /bin is just a symlink to /usr/bin after all.
