I install RELENG-8, then updated STABLE following the handbook. I'm now trying to install xorg with portmaster -P x11/xorg but I am having a problem with the xterm ports: | ===>>> Starting check for runtime dependencies | ===>>> Gathering dependency list for x11/xterm from ports | ===>>> Starting dependency check | ===>>> Dependency check complete for x11/xterm | x11/xorg >> x11/xorg-apps >> x11/xterm | | ===> Installing for xterm-251_1 | ===> Generating temporary packing list | ** Missing pkg-descr for xterm-251_1. | *** Error code 1 | | Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xterm. | | ===>>> Installation of xterm-251_1 (x11/xterm) failed | ===>>> Aborting update | | ===>>> Update for x11/xterm failed | ===>>> Aborting update I don't understand, since the file exists: | wc /usr/ports/x11/xterm/pkg-descr | 10 68 479 /usr/ports/x11/xterm/pkg-descr I already had the same problem with the xf86-video-ati ports, I updated the ports tree (portsnap fetch&update), but now, portsnap the tree is up-to-date. I also tried deleting /usr/ports/distfiles/xterm-251.tgz and starting again, but it didn't work. I don't know what else to do. Any idea? The only thing special in here is that I have a really slow internet connection, but I don't see how it could cause such a problem. Thank you in advance samlt
