There's a bug in patch 5 for psroff, which causes some directories
to not be updated as they should. The file "prepatch" is supposed
to move the entire contents of the "font" directory to "fontps".
(In addition, somehow the makekit is refusing to build the fontps
directory in the first place, and the unshar fails). Since it wouldn't
make sense to issue a patch *to* a patch, you'll have to fix the problem
manually.
If you are about to install patch 5, please "mkdir fontps" before
unsharing it. That will alleviate the unshar failure. Then, instead
of running "prepatch" (after unsharing):
mv font/* fontps
rmdir font
rm prepatch
If you've installed patch 5, please make sure that *all* of the files
in the "font" directory are moved to "fontps", and then delete the
"font" directory. Eg: run:
mv font/* fontps
rmdir font
Thank you.
BTW: patch 6 will be coming out real soon ;-)
