buggared = fubar'd = hosed = wrong Aye, missing pkg-message files could be the cause of your problems. Refresh your ports tree via cvsup and life should be good again. I have just refreshed my ports tree and I still get a useful 'Info' line when using 'make search key='. Here are the first few lines of the sup file I use for refreshing my ports tree. --------------------->8------------------ *default host=localhost *default base=/usr/local/etc/sup *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix #ports-all # These are the individual collections that make up "po # use these, be sure to comment out "ports-all" above. ports-archivers #ports-astro ports-audio ports-base --------------------->8------------------ The important bits are: *default release=cvs tag=. and ports-base Then when I refresh I use the command 'cvsup -gL 2 ports-supfile' greg _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
