I will spend some time to figure out exactly how to reproduce this. Going from recent memory (~2 weeks ago), I encountered it on my VPS box (which does run ntpd, just FYI): 1. Initially installed with 9.1-RELEASE, 2. Upgraded to stable/9 (using svn), 3. WITHOUT_CDDL=true and WITHOUT_ZFS=true added to /etc/src.conf 4. world/kernel rebuilt/reinstalled/etc. (this includes make delete-old, as per instructions in src/Makefile -- which would delete /usr/bin/ctfconvert) 5. Fast forward many months 6. Removed WITHOUT_CDDL=true from src.conf 7. Encountered the above issue ("ctfconvert: not found") during buildkernel 8. Rebuilt kernel again -- same error 9. Removed WITHOUT_ZFS=true from src.conf 10. Rebuilt kernel again -- worked This could mean WITHOUT_ZFS=true has some bearing on this situation, but I don't see how/why, as WITHOUT_CDDL is supposed to be the "trigger" for ctf* utilities. I did poke around the Makefiles and framework a bit but didn't have any epiphanies. Like I said -- I'll try to reproduce the exact scenario. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@koitsu.org | | UNIX Systems Administrator http://jdc.koitsu.org/ | | Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
