You should dirrm(try) all files/directories not listed in MTREE_FILE (this might be bsd.local.dist or bsd.x11.dist - check `make -V MTREE_FILE` output= ).

Do you think it is a good idea to let a robot mark ports "broken" b= ecause of non technical issue, but rather because of poorly defined politic= al issue? >=20 It's very important for ports to be plist-clean (i.e. deinstall all files it creates and don't make damage to filesystem), as much efforts was payed to keep entire ports collection plist-clean. Some ports may fail because they might rely on e.g. en_GB existent. --=20 Stanislav Sedov MBSD labs, Inc. <ssedov@mbsd.msk.ru> =F2=CF=D3=D3=C9=D1, =ED=CF=D3=CB=D7=C1 http://mbsd.msk.ru -------------------------------------------------------------------- If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts. -- A.
