Last night, I decided to bring the ports collection on that production server up to date so that I could install some of the ports that have been modified since the last time I cvsup'd the ports collection (about two months ago). I'm using the standard ports-supfile found in /usr/share/examples/cvsup (changed the server to cvsup5.freebsd.org) and disabled compression. After the cvsup process finished, I went to /usr/ports/editors/vim/ and tried to build and install that port (using 'make && make install') and all I got was a spew of: Unknown modifier 'c' Unknown modifier '[' I tried to make some other frivilous ports (like misc/geekcode and www/w3m) and got the same thing. So I decided to blow out the ports directory and re-synced it using cvsup. After a couple of minutes, I tried to build the port and got the exact same thing. Has anyone run into this problem before and know who to fix it? Since it's a production server, I can't take the machine down except late at night.
