The FreeBSD ports tree removed support for 4.x systems many a year ago. Using the ports tree updated beyond the EOL date is not guaranteed to work, and no PRs or bug reports will be looked at if using a 4.x system. Anyone still using FreeBSD 4.x is on their own to make the ports tree work, and would probably be better of installing/managing software on their own. -- Freddie [email protected] _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
