Totally :), there might be an issue with the framework as it is not picking makewhatis from the cross tools as it should I may need to fix that > > Next, If I reinstall an older version of FreeBSD, it will create the database that’s appropriate for 1.13, and vice versa, so it shouldn’t be visible to the user.

Yup that is the answer to it :) > > Warner [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEgOTj3suS2urGXVU3Y4mL3PG3PloFAljQUeUACgkQY4mL3PG3 PlqD1RAAhFxj3RWETMXViFshrFmjSTS6SKLMPrvt2cngAD3kgmL6N+mRy/mw/u3G tG1JOwWPhacoDdQr3qeSTcLsRyZ/fmTTgJXD6MWyKi/VWfWf80KQ3XQYB40u4xUO qSGk1qdTF3MfQk4f2M17AQCsS8UI0uY48P4Z1u9bT3I4/mTV/HAtio9htUdODomz WnvhNfRb7zXp+qQPzdVklm7tGkMDE5MdAKx6N26xNoMaFii9qPh7H2NdCGh4j4zB snxK/HX1BZ3QU0Uxg6OEwUXkDIrGw4e8CZOQe1gMcbMNskX4Bxc+zOQ08+tpAs/Y /yTb+vvEAJjs5h3xZlmenxu3uW/7DUk0ihAgHU55OOz/am9tqNazhJLiVG2O3yAs jPqykTp5a1zUW1vLIiL7eNq4PtRE22Q+JcCnNEescvN9R5/1MDy+U8rcp83NwjEn eo1vQhKcO5dVHQaJ3BKHmIotCnFDLPlkNKPLhZErNxZ5liaKP8H40KOp3iW11+zA hhMzG9pw7s1T67z6y4rZWjmE7l/TzwCbZJTNeF7PBw6EKoC3eKfWYqGiMxqFnyh8 wboOc6sQXD4G0oORjSS8S7spJuK6uD81vKZosLA2dDLnIM+QdC9rmdMk43NXoCUr /S7lI6H+coJIJfrQ0qS1B8yxoxlEG2n4r9RoNzzkyCqK6BILW2A= =sYwd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
