There are two error messages which people commonly get from ports: Your port uses an old layout: - there are out of date files in the port directory - If you are updating using cvs, use the '-D' flag to tell it to remove old empty directories - If you are updating with cvsup, see the cvsup FAQ on www.polstra.com Q11, 12, 13. Your system is too old to use this port: - You need to upgrade the system by doing a make world, or install an upgrade kit. Can we please try and have some consistency in advice-giving, here? :) Someone needs to add this information to the FAQ.
