Hi there,

i have an unnerving problem with a port. i wanted to install
textproc/yodl. turned out the port is pretty old; i found a patch that
updates it to the latest version in gnats. but, the installation failed
with 

===>   Generating temporary packing list
/usr/libexec/elf/strip: /usr/local/bin/INS@qlTF: File format not recognized
install: wait: Undefined error: 0
*** Error code 70

Stop in /usr/ports/textproc/yodl.

the file doesn't exist in /usr/local/bin, which makes me nervous some
more: strip normally says "No such file or directory" to nonexistant
files.

i've run make install in /usr/ports/textproc/yodl/ several times (if my
box is hacked right now it won't get any worse if i hack it twice), and
the part after the at sign changes. it looks like a badly written trojan
or something...

building and installing the program outside the ports collection doesn't
give me any errors. 

i'm wondering: is the tarball trojaned? is something else hosed in my
system? i've tried installing /usr/ports/www/links, and it ran to
completion.

TIA
