I'm using FreeBSD 4.6,2 Now, when I do either a portupgrade, or a make install, make *always* fails at the same point with the same error message. It makes no difference whether it's a fresh install or an upgrade. Has something changed with the BSD Makefile? Here's an example (though it affects everything, not just this example, and I can no longer install any ports): ---> Installing the new version via the port ===> Installing for nmap-3.30 ===> Generating temporary packing list ===> Checking if security/nmap already installed *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/security/nmap. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/security/nmap. ** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portupgrade3303.0 make reinstall egrep: /var/db/pkg/nmap-3.00/+CONTENTS: No such file or directory ---> Restoring the old version ** Fix the installation problem and try again. [Updating the pkgdb in /var/db/pkg ... - 401 packages found (-0 +1) . done] ** The following packages were not installed or upgraded (*:skipped / !:failed) ! security/nmap (nmap-3.00) (install error) dave# ------------------------------ I don't understand what's going on and I'd be very grateful for any help anyone can give.
