I also tried attempting my first 'portsdb -Uu' after a successful CVSUp, but am running into some problems: idfubar# portsdb -Uu Updating the ports index ... perl: not found /usr/local/sbin/make_describe_pass2:70:in `write': Broken pipe (Errno::EPIPE) from /usr/local/sbin/make_describe_pass2:70:in `puts' from /usr/local/sbin/make_describe_pass2:70 failed to generate INDEX! portsdb: index generation error Can anyone explain why I might be getting these errors? My installation was a minimal install, do I need to install something else for the 'make index' command to work properly? -R _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
