The output is rather telling: gsc@192-168-1-3 Barsoom % dpkg-deb -c /opt/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/editors/emacs26-app_26.3-2_darwin-x86_64.deb| grep emacs.1 -rw-r--r-- root/admin 6476 2023-01-16 12:48 ./opt/sw/share/man/man1/emacs.1.gz gsc@192-168-1-3 Barsoom % dpkg-deb -c /opt/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/editors/emacs26-app_26.3-2_darwin-x86_64.deb| grep ctags -rwxr-xr-x root/admin 145160 2023-01-16 12:52 ./opt/sw/bin/ctags -rw-r--r-- root/admin 6602 2019-01-08 01:26 ./opt/sw/share/emacs/26.3/lisp/org/org-ctags.el.gz -rw-r--r-- root/admin 12132 2019-08-22 08:57 ./opt/sw/share/emacs/26.3/lisp/org/org-ctags.elc -rw-r--r-- root/admin 37 2023-01-16 12:48 ./opt/sw/share/man/man1/ctags.1.gz It looks as if the package has got the man pages for emacs, ctags, etags, ebrowse, and emacsclient in /opt/sw/share/man, and the binaries for ctags etc in /opt/sw/bin, but the postinst script expects to find them inside Emacs.app/Contents/Resources and Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS respectively. The postinst also refers to executables for b2m, rcs-checkin, and grep-changelog, which do not appear to be in the package at all. Am I the only one having this problem?
