I am running FreeBSD 4.3 release on a P233 w/128MB cvsup SNAP_16_1_e fails w/ the following message when doing a port upgrade: Updater failed: /usr/ports/x11/ebuttons/files/#cvs.cvsup-20660.430: Cannot create: Invalid argument Then I just get my prompt back. Only language specific ports are commented out of ports-supfile. I have tried to follow the advice concerning the jakarta* port, that is, deleting the directories and removing relevant entries in the checkouts.cvs:. files, but no cigar, the error reappears but with different digits at the end of the message. (BTW: When rm -rf 'ing the offending directory, I get an error message saying the directory is not empty. Logging out and in again and performing the command again worked, but not as root, I had to su from a regular user... ??? Guess maybe cvsup left some stray threads hanging ??) Couldn't find any info on the mailing lists. Am I the only one w/ this problem ? Inge E.
