I was only able to figure it out when I tracked down install-info: $ which install-info /usr/local/bin/install-info $ pkg_which install-info texinfo-4.8_3 $ locate install-info /usr/bin/install-info =2E.. /usr/local/bin/install-info There are two versions installed! One is part of the base system (/usr/bin/install-info) and the other was installed with the texinfo port (/usr/local/bin/install-info). I changed my $PATH long ago to put /usr/local/bin in front of /usr/bin. Because of this, the wrong install-info was being used. Changing $PATH back to the default or uninstalling texinfo allowed me to install dirmngr (and other ports...). -Jonathan --=20 Jonathan Noack | noackjr@alumni.rice.edu | OpenPGP: 0x991D8195 --------------enigB74E88CDFD91A85347B41BA6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEAMkpUFz01pkdgZURAnt3AJsGziMLEbZ9ErXwNx+U9+mYhFINmwCfSRTE OTN0sjrgPQZnXGYU0bqHqoQ= =5Urn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigB74E88CDFD91A85347B41BA6--
