Problem: make install fails on each and every port: ===> Checking if ....... alredy installed *** Error code 1 Yes I've already searched the archives and noticed some problems a few weeks ago. They mentioned that this problem was affecting previous versions of FreeBSD. However I've been running 4.8-STABLE for months. To be sure I updated my ports tree and sources yesterday and remade the world and kernel. The problem keeps affecting me. FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE (Aug 5 2003) I also recreated my INDEX, INDEX.db and pkgdb.db files, just in case the problem was somewhere else: cd /usr/ports mv INDEX INDEX.backup mv INDEX.db INDEX.db.backup make index portsdb -u cd /var/db/pkg mv pkgdb.db pkgdb.db.backup pkgdb -Fu This didn't work either. Now, I am able to bypass the problem if I set FORCE_PKG_REGISTER. However I'd like to be able to use my ports system w/o having to do this. My questions: i) if the problem was the use of the '-O' option with pkg_info, why do I keep failing to install things if my pkg_info and bsd.port.mk are up to date? Is there any other problem? (perhaps I missed it while reading the archives) ii) where else may I look into? Thanks in advance, Fernan PS: please reply to this address since it is not subscribed to the list PS2: this is my third try to get this message posted. I've already failed from my university and netscape.net accounts. The problem seems to be at freebsd.org, but I see some messages getting through ... can anyone check this? ------------ Internet GRATIS es Yahoo! Conexión 4004-1010 desde Buenos Aires.
