X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2004 23:33:46 -0000 Hello all, This problem has been recurring on my laptop (5.2.1-RELEASE-p9) for the past few weeks and I'm scratching my head. Very frequently, I'll go to portinstall something, and I'll get several stop errors, and the build will fail. But if I do a "rm -rf /usr/ports", then re-cvsup my ports collection, I can successfully build whatever port I was trying at the time. However, a few days later (or whatever), I'll try to build another port, and it will start all over. I delete /usr/ports, cvsup again, then I'm fine. This has happened several times over the past few weeks and the whole manual cvsup'ing to refresh my entire /usr/ports every time is getting old. (Although I've noticed I can sometimes get away with just deleting the /usr/ports/... directory of the port I'm trying to build and cvsup'ing again.) I'm keeping my ports current the same way on a workstation in at work, and I've had no problems there, so I know it has to be something that's wrong on my laptop. Here is the output of the latest port failure (fwbuilder): ===> Applying FreeBSD patches for net-snmp-5.1.2 2 out of 4 hunks failed--saving rejects to agent/mibgroup/ucd-snmp/diskio.c.rej >> Patch patch-diskio.c failed to apply cleanly. >> Patch(es) patch-Makefile.in patch-aa patch-auto_nlist.c patch-configure.in applied cleanly. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/net-mgmt/net-snmp. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/security/libfwbuilder. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/security/fwbuilder. ** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portinstall79078.0 make ** Fix the problem and try again. ** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed) ! security/fwbuilder (patch error) ---> Packages processed: 0 done, 0 ignored, 0 skipped and 1 failed Thank for any feedback! -Duane
