System: FreeBSD-STABLE (4.10). Ports updated recently, but I've had trouble with the database and probably never straightened it out.
Problem: "portinstall lang/perl5.8" and other similar attempts to install ports abort quietly. With -v, I just see session started, nothing installed or upgraded, session ended. I can install any port via make install though (perl is going in now thus). I have run pkgdb -fu, then pkgdb -F, then just in case, pkgdb -fu again; no change. I've run make index several times, but not today (this is a P166, so make index takes a while). I think my ports database must be irreparably hosed, but I welcome suggestions on how to salvage things. :-) Please Cc me. -- Doug Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dlee.org Bartimaeus Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bartsite.com "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
