Description Michael Hordijk 2005-08-24 13:32:58 UTC

I can't be the only one who has a /usr/local NFS mounted read-only. 
baselayout-1.11.13-r1 attempts to create /usr/local and it's subdirectories, and
then dies when trying to merge those to a read-only file system.  Similar to
bugs #88835 and #90022, it would be nice if /usr/local were created on
installation but not bothered with after that.

Reproducible: Always

it should already check for this ... there was a bug with dosym in /usr/local
though so ive fixed that

Comment 2 Michael Hordijk 2005-09-06 21:31:50 UTC

I've verified that the updated 1.11.13-r1 indeed works as advertised.  Thanks. 
Not sure if I should "Mark bug as VERIFIED" or not, but I consider it verified,
or even "CLOSED".

we dont generally utilized the 'VERIFIED' feature but if you are so inclined to
use it, we wont complain ;)
