Port extractions fail, makewhatis fails, : all sorts of things generate error messages. The simplest example is : tar - e.g. : # tar tzvf /usr/ports/distfiles/cfengine-1.6.1.tar.gz >/dev/null : : gzip: stdout: Broken pipe : tar: child returned status 1 : : gunzip, followed by tar xf, works just fine, so I don't think it's a : gzip or tar problem. Besides, other things fail which don't : (apparently) use gzip or tar, but do use pipes. And, not all pipes, : fail, but I haven't been able to determine what causes some to fail. : : This occurs on both intel and alpha. : : I have to believe that this is something local to my setup - I haven't : seen anyone else discuss it on the list. Still I've tried almost : everything I can think of, even dropping back to a GENERIC kernel, and : still see the same behavior. Right now, I'm re-cvsupping the sources, : and I'll try building GENERIC from virgin sources, but, in the : meanwhile, does anyone have a clue what might be the problem? Steve- Is this over ssh connection? I think something weird is happening with pipes and openssh 2.3.0p1 MFC. Not sure if it has been addressed or not.
