I have a 6.2-PRERELEASE. As almost all the ports of my laptop where out of date and I just had updated another computer so I decided to 0/ portsnap fetch update (on the laptop) 1/ pkg_delete -a (on the laptop) 2/ generate packages on the other box for the biggest ports and send them to the laptop. Then set on the laptop : setenv PKG_PATH /tmp/packages setenv PKGDIR /tmp/packages setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/ And now I am (re)installing the packages of what I need. For the moment, I asked for portupgrade-devel, portaudit, vim and xorg. I am using portinstall -P ... (and now again with -k many times) to go through the missed dependencies. However, I get many errors of the following type: when a ports needs to be compiled, it complains that pkg-descr is missing, while it is not because the file is there. It seems to be systematic from now on to all the new ports I try to make install (see below). What's wrong ? Thanks in advance.
