Description Yannick Koehler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-02-01 07:33:33 UTC 
It seems that when you install on a system with a separate partition for /usr 
the depscan.sh script is run but the /usr is not yet mounted therefore 
the 'awk' executable which is located inside /usr/bin/ is not found and when 
you put a link inside /bin for it, it then request for the 'which' executable.
Comment 1 Yannick Koehler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-02-01 09:07:42 UTC 
Note... I mistakenly said 'put a link'... that's not what I meant.  You have to
copy the file as the /usr is not there, so a link wouldn't work.  Sorry about that.

Ok, forgot to mention it here, but 'xdm' is the guilty one.  Will be fixed
(or should be) in xfree-4.2.0-r6.

This is not a depscan.sh bug, but rather a lack of feature.
