hi, i recently used cvsup, and it updated a few things including my distro name which it changed to 4.6-RELEASE-p1.

upon running /stand/sysinstall configPackages i get this error message

i did as it says and went into options and changed it to 4.6-RELEASE but it just keeps changing back to 4.6-RELEASE-p1 stopping me from being able to use configPackages to update and install new packages.

how do i get it to stay 4.6-RELEASE or 'any' ?

thanks for your help
