Synopsis: Mergemaster on 4x -> 5.x pre-buildworld State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: dougb State-Changed-When: Wed Oct 12 00:33:18 GMT 2005 State-Changed-Why: What you've described is accurate. There are (at least) two possible solutions. First, use and/or install the mergemaster from 5.x. Second, instead of trying to do a source upgrade over major versions, back up your important data, and reinstall from scratch. This is especially useful in the 4->5 upgrade since without a newfs on the filesystems you miss out on the benefits of UFS2. hope this helps, Doug Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-bugs->dougb Responsible-Changed-By: dougb Responsible-Changed-When: Wed Oct 12 00:33:18 GMT 2005 Responsible-Changed-Why: I maintain mergemaster http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=73651
