Hello, everyone, I have a fairly strange error, that has popped up on both machines where I have used portupgrade (both 4.8-RELEASE boxes). Here is an example output: please:~> pkg_info |head BitTorrent-3.2.1b "Peer to Peer file sharing/mirroring."Mesa-3.4.2_2 A graphics library similar to SGI's OpenGL ORBit-0.5.17 High-performance CORBA ORB with support for the C language XFree86-4.3.0,1 X11/XFree86 core distribution (complete, using mini/meta-po Note how Mesa's entry begins immediately after the last character of BitTorrent's. The behavior seems to be that if a package has been installed/upgraded with portupgrade, it eliminates the terminal newline from the pkg_info listing. Running pkg_info with a particular package as an argument works fine. pkgdb reports that the database is uncorrupted and up-to-date. The only effect seems to be this fairly annoying display bug, but nothing that is impairing the functionality of the system in a serious way. Thank you in advance for any help/insights/hints. Have a good day. -Joe
