(also posted to freebsd-current)

I'm rebuilding the world on i386 FBSD 8.0-currnet following the manual.
I cvsup'ed the source on 20-OCT-2008, made buildworld, built kernel,
installed kernel, rebooted into single user mode, and tried to installworld.
I got:

install: /usr/share/locale/nb_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME: Too many levels
of symbolic links
*** Error code 71

Stop in /usr/srs/share/timedef.
*** Error code 1


What am I doing wrong?

many thanks
anton
