That's not the port, that's portupgrade and its handling of stashed up compat libs. It has a bug and does something poorly with symlinks. It bites me on mesa-libs regularly too, and occasionally elsewhere. I grumble, manually delete the compat symlink, then go `portupgrade -w` the thing again to get it to retry the install. And hope it annoys someone else enough that they go fix it... -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [email protected] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
