Re: setup-x86_64: postinstall errors: Package bash 1, Package a2ps 2 and xinit 134

Thanks for the feedback; remarks inline.

Package: bash
     bash.sh exit code 1

I think the problem is that virtual /dev is a read-only filesystem, but if you make a real /dev directory; then you can write to it. Could you run 'mkdir -p /dev' (without the quotes) and then try rerunning setup-x86_64.exe? I suspect this will work then.

FWIW, I wonder why this entire script isn't handled by base-files.

Package: a2ps
     a2ps.sh exit code 2

This is due to a missing papersize(5) file. I'm working on a fix, but a workaround is to run the following command, then rerun setup-x86_64.exe:

echo letter > /etc/papersize

Package: xinit
     xinit.sh exit code 134

This is from a SIGABRT in mkshortcut.  Chuck?
