I went back to my notes on the problem I saw when the port system's autoconfiguration machinery seemed to go into an infinite loop. It appears (APPEARS, I must repeat) that the problem is that everything depends on pkginstall, but pkginstall's man pages depend on find files that depend on something else. My note ends ``make -k works around this.'' Greg, you got your ears up? I entered posted a bug report; I will if you poke me a little. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
