Hi. I'm running FreeBSD 4.9.
Whenever I do a "cvsup ports-supfile" followed by a "portupgrade -a"
some ports fail (Makefile broken, install error, unknown error) and then
some of their dependants aren't built because of it.
Here is an example of a "Makefile broken"
=====================
angela root # cd /usr/ports/graphics/libexif
angela libexif # make
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 2028: warning: String comparison
operator should be either == or !=
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 2028: Malformed conditional
(${PKGINSTALLVER} < 20030417)
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 2028: Need an operator
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 4982: if-less endif
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 4982: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
angela libexif #
=====================
There is apparently a problem with the Mk/bsd.port.mk file !!
Is there something I'm missing here? This happens with a lot of ports.
And then there are the "install error" and "unknown error" ports that I
don't know what to do with either.
Any insights would be very much appreciated.
