Per src/UPDATING, I remade world/kernel with OSRELDATE=3D500110 set. I installed said world/kernel = (also with environment flag still set) and still have an unusable groff: # man ls Formatting page, please wait.../usr/bin/groff: can't find `DESC' file /usr/bin/groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii' Done. This world/kernel (built with said environment flag) is unable to build = any subsequent worlds either, failing miserably relating to groff with = similar errors as above. Setting the environment flag again allows world to = build. ?!?! Can someone please give me some advice as to how to repair groff ? = Am I at the point when this environment flag is going to have to permanently = live in make.conf and that groff will be forever dead ? Seems unlikely; but I = have no clue as to how to rectify this. Thanks in advance. --------------------------------------- Robin P.
