"Can't resolve libspec artskde" I get this error at the package-build stage when making a number of kde subsystem ports on 3.8-beta. I end up with a number of failed packages, such as kdemultimedia, kdepim, koffice. Non-KDE applications seem to package and install just fine.
This was repeatable, even after doing this level of "cleaning" before running make on my little list of ports: 1. pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/* 2. cd /usr/ports; make clean; rm -rf packages bulk 3. cd /usr; cvs up -Pd src XF4 ports 4. make kernel; reboot; make userland BULK, TRUST_PACKAGES, BIN_PACKAGES are set to Yes. I'm betting its because I upgraded from 3.7-stable to a recent snapshot instead of doing a completely fresh install. My process was to boot the bsd.rd that came with the snapshot, and use the "(U)pgrade" script; followed by using Mergemaster on /etc, then cvs get a new set of src, XF4, and ports. I've restored 3.7-stable. Am willing to try again if someone has suggestions about my upgrade procedure. I know that Upgrades are supported -release to -release, and -stable to -release; I wonder about -release/-stable to snapshot.
