[Slackbuilds-users] extra files in $PKG/install

[B. Watson]

I've been going through a lot of packages, looking for issues...

How many of you have files named like these?

$ ls -d /installpkg-*
/installpkg-424f0b9b8dfa39116f400a1e28c81427/
/installpkg-48c5f1121baf117bc8cd5cb81d4c315a/
/installpkg-8ce33bb6875a083c1b82af332c9a1175/
/installpkg-a6c16f0748bbc7f892dd56447a375fa6/
/installpkg-ad84c0c457f72e604075589930b129de/
/installpkg-c863767111eaaddfb8623271f76a6c8b/
/installpkg-cd8a50cc9a20baff05436e5e21b3b89b/
/installpkg-d9f3419d09ef5f9fe23a0a1a2c198b8d/
/installpkg-e4b7c85746cc950dff947233cb978aaa/
/installpkg-f850ef68bdfdb986ee187fd495acf84d/

It turns out that SlackBuilds which put extra files in $PKG/install
cause these 'turds' to be installed. The installpkg command creates
these, with the contents of 'install/' in the package (meaning they
contain slack-desc and doinst.sh, if it exists), but it doesn't
remove them if they contain extra files, because it deletes/moves
the slack-desck and doinst.sh, then uses rmdir to delete the
/installpkg-<hash> directory.

As an added bonus, any code in doinst.sh that expects to use a file
in /install (e.g. freeimpi tries to use /install/conffiles), will fail
because by the time doinst.sh runs, the directory has been renamed.

I can and will fix the ones I know about, but everyone, you should
check your builds to see if they do this.
