The following reply was made to PR ports/35897; it has been noted by GNATS.

It ends up deleting /compat/linux/dev, which then broke my vmware2 port, so I had to reinstall vmware2. It might be that none of those subdirectories really "need" to be deleted. I'll take another crack at deinstall/installing it, and see what happens. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@FreeBSD.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
