Just change the value from '4.7-RELEASE' to 'any' and you'll be good to go. > > Is this intended behaviour or did I something wrong? It is intended behavior, you didn't do anything wrong. :) Good luck, greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
