This is a pretty common error that occurs the first time you use cvsup to update your ports tree. (Should a solution for this be in the handbook?) The problem is that cvsup will not delete files unknown to the cvsup server. (If you place a file in the ports tree and run cvsup, it should not delete your file in an effort to synchronize the trees.) /usr/local/bin/bash: }fmt: command not found /usr/ports /usr/ports.old (just in case) and then I run cvsup to get a fresh ports tree. -- Christopher Farley Northern Brewer / 1150 Grand Avenue / St. Paul, MN 55105 www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
