Context: As part of an attempt to get ready to test some of Justin = Hibbits recent powerpc/powerpc64 related changes I attempted to follow = the portmaster man page's instructions for "Using portmaster to do a = complete reinstallation of all your ports". (I decide to start from an = SSD that had contents from back in mid July and decide to just reinstall = all the ports.) The result of the portmaster `cat ~/ports_origins` (my chosen file name = for steps 1 and 10) failed with: ... gmake[1]: Leaving directory = `/usr/obj/portswork/usr/ports/devel/gobject-introspection/work/gobject-int= rospection-1.36.0' =3D=3D=3D> Staging for gobject-introspection-1.36.0_3 =3D=3D=3D> Generating temporary packing list mtree: /usr/local/etc/mtree/BSD.gnome.dist: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/ports/devel/gobject-introspection =3D=3D=3D>>> make stage failed for devel/gobject-introspection =3D=3D=3D>>> Aborting update =3D=3D=3D>>> Update for devel/gobject-introspection failed =3D=3D=3D>>> Aborting update ... Looking around after this showed that /usr/local/etc/mtree does not = exist (but /usr/local/etc did exist). This may be in part because when I interpreted step 9 of the man page's = instructions 9. Manually check /usr/local and /var/db/pkg to make sure that they are really empty I did: rm -fr /usr/local/* rm -fr /var/db/pkg/* because there was lots of stuff around and I interpreted "empty" rather = literally. Another possibility is that there is some place recording = historical mtree information that needed = /usr/local/etc/mtree/BSD.gnome.dist cleared out in some way but the = instructions did not lead to my doing so. Anybody know how I would get /usr/local/etc/mtree/BSD.gnome.dist back in = place or otherwise be able to rebuild and reinstall my ports? [Justin: This gives an idea where I'm at relative to testing the = Xorg/xfce4 failure on powerpc/GENERIC. buildworld, kernel, installworld = seems to have worked fine. But I do not have Xorg or xfce4 in place yet = to repeat the previously failing steps.] =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.net
