In gnustep2.txt is the command postinst called (with all fonts, about
70kB :-)

Error: libkvm does not return arguments for the current process
this may be due to a bug (undocumented feature) in libkvm
which fails to get arguments unless /proc is mounted.
If so, you can mount the /proc filesystem or reconfigure/build
gnustep-base with --enable-fake-main as a workaround, and
should report the bug to the maintainer of libkvm on your operating system.
