I first saw this a while ago (10 days?) but thought I'd screwed
something up myself. Didn't get a chance to clean the box up fully and
try again until this morning. After a successfull buildworld, trying to
do a mergemaster, this happens:
# mergemaster -i
mergemaster: not found
# /usr/sbin/mergemaster -i
*** The directory specified for the temporary root environment,
/var/tmp/temproot, exists. This can be a security risk if untrusted
users have access to the system.
Use 'd' to delete the old /var/tmp/temproot and continue
Use 't' to select a new temporary root directory
Use 'e' to exit mergemaster
Default is to use /var/tmp/temproot as is
How should I deal with this? [Use the existing /var/tmp/temproot]
*** Leaving /var/tmp/temproot intact
*** Creating the temporary root environment in /var/tmp/temproot
*** /var/tmp/temproot ready for use
*** Creating and populating directory structure in /var/tmp/temproot
set - `grep "^[a-zA-Z]" /usr/src/etc/locale.deprecated`; while [ $# -gt 0 ] ; do for dir in /usr/share/locale /usr/share/nls /usr/local/share/nls; do test -d /var/tmp/temproot/${dir} && cd /var/tmp/temproot/${dir}; test -L "$2" && rm -rf "$2"; test \! -L "$1" && test -d "$1" && mv "$1" "$2"; done; shift; shift; done
mtree -deU -f /usr/src/etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist -p /var/tmp/temproot/
mtree:No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src/etc.
*** FATAL ERROR: Cannot 'cd' to /usr/src/etc and install files to
the temproot environment
/usr/src/etc exists, so does the temproot. I've tried nuking the
temproot too, nothing helps. Did I miss out on something or are other
people seeing this?
If it at all matters (can't see why), UP Thunderbird 1200.

Any insights would be appreciated.
