x3270 post install script fails

[David Stacey <drstacey at tiscali dot co dot uk>]

The x3270 package performs the following in its post install script:

    FONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts
    ENCODINGSDIR=$FONTDIR/encodings
    MKFONTDIR=/usr/bin/mkfontdir
    $MKFONTDIR -e $ENCODINGSDIR $FONTDIR/misc

This fails because the directory '/usr/share/fonts/encodings' no longer 
exists. (The directory used to be provided by the 'font-encodings' 
package, which is now obsolete).

Probably the best way to resolve this is to add a 'mkdir -p 
${ENCODINGSDIR}' to the post install script, rather than just assume its 
existence - provided this 'encodings.dir' is still being read by the X 
server. Otherwise, use '/usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings' as the encodings 
directory.

Dave.
