They may not have created in on purpose. Paul Dokas, who submitted PR #136447, tells me: | Yup, there it is: | | % ls -al /nonexistent | lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 15 Jun 8 08:28 /nonexistent@ -> usr/nonexistent | | % ls -al /usr/nonexistent/ | total 4 | drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jun 8 08:28 ./ | drwxr-xr-x 19 root wheel 512 Jun 8 08:28 ../ | | Given the timestamp, I'm pretty sure that these were created when I last | updated some ports. One of them must have created both the symlink and | the directory. I definitely didn't make them myself. Very odd... (Back in June, Fabiano Sidler also reported the same weird audio/flac build failure to me. In retrospect, it must have been caused by an existing /nonexistent, too.) -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
