The general reaction is that this shouldn't happen. I agree, but it did and did again... after deinstalling the old version, it tried again to get the new version, but gave up and installed the old one again. Why, I still wonder..?? Here's the make fetching from the /usr/ports/net/samba/: root@sageman>> make >> samba-2.2.2.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/. >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/./. fetch: samba-2.2.2.tar.gz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/./. fetch: samba-2.2.2.tar.gz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://de.samba.org/pub/mirror/samba/./. fetch: samba-2.2.2.tar.gz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://se.samba.org/pub/samba/./. fetch: samba-2.2.2.tar.gz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/unix/utilities/samba/./. fetch: samba-2.2.2.tar.gz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/old-versions/. ...see the last line above winds up fetching the "old version". I finally fixed it by deleting the whole samba port and re-cvsuping... and this time I got an even later version samba-2.2.3 (from the same mirror as a few minutes before). Still wonder why the ports are doing this....?? (tried different mirror too). Best regards, Jack L.
