hi,
Strange problem trying to run portupgrade -rf mail/courier on both
current and 6.2-PRERELEASE with all ports up to date. Only one of the
machines has an older courier that I tried to update and get the error
so I decided I would build a package from one of the up to date
installations but much to my surprise I get the same error. One of
the installations I just built within the las 15 days so it would seem
that it can be built but not rebuilt which makes no sense to me. All
of the courier installations are working fine. This all came to light
with a portupgrade -afr on one machine. Same thing with a cd
/usr/ports/mail/courier; make
Any suggestions appreciated.
thanks,

This seems to be an issue with either fam or gamin as currently present in
ports tree. I do not understand everything in detail, one does not
link (just
as you showed), the second one builds but does not run (imapd dumps core, so
no usable imap server). If someone with more fam/gamin knowledge could help
here, it would be great. As a temporary workaround, you could comment out
line in Makefile telling WITH_FAM= YES (or something similar is
there) and be
just fine, loosing ENHANCED IDLE support, however. You could even
update this
way to 0.53.3, by the way. I did not try to put this update into PR yet
exactly due this fam/gamin issue.

Milan
Hi, Milan,
The strange thing is that I built a new courier on Nov. 2. I
installed it fine without having fam but it built gamin but then I
had problems with courier until I built and installed fam and after
that all was well. I didn't change anything else. From what you
are saying and from the experience that I had, I would assume that
what you suggest is basically what I did. That just might be worth
a try but it seems a bit weird.
Commenting out WITH_FAM= YES nor setting it to no didn't get the
desired results. It still tried to build fam and died at the same
place. Tomorrow, if I have time, I'll uninstall fam and try to
rebuild the way I did on my last installation.

Thanks for the reply. As always your help is invaluable. You've
really got the freebsd courier port down.
