Going back to the original problem, I may be wrong here but is ``make
clean'' failing due to an out of date /usr/ports/INDEX (a port is
listed in the biology section in the INDEX, but that port no longer
exists). ``cd /usr/ports ; make index'' will solve that one.
Personally though I find doing
# find /usr/ports -name work
and then cd(1)'ing to each found path (i.e. the parent of the found
work dir) and doing ``make clean'' there is faster, you don't end up
doing ''make clean'' in every port and it's dependencies.
