I also have a jail that has its own ports tree. On the host system, when running portsdb -Uu, I am getting the following that I dont understand: portsdb -Uu Updating the ports index ... /usr/local: permission denied: malformed entry: /usr/local: permission denied "Makefile", line 30: warning: "/usr/local" returned non-zero status: malformed entry: "Makefile", line 30: warning: "/usr/local" returned non-zero status /usr/local: permission denied: malformed entry: /usr/local: permission denied "Makefile", line 30: warning: "/usr/local" returned non-zero status: malformed entry: "Makefile", line 30: warning: "/usr/local" returned non-zero status /usr/local: permission denied: malformed entry: /usr/local: permission denied "Makefile", line 33: warning: "/usr/local" returned non-zero status: malformed entry: "Makefile", line 33: warning: "/usr/local" returned non-zero status /usr/local: permission denied: malformed entry: /usr/local: permission denied "Makefile", line 32: warning: "/usr/local" returned non-zero status: malformed entry: "Makefile", line 32: warning: "/usr/local" returned non-zero status /usr/local: permission denied: malformed entry: /usr/local: permission denied "Makefile", line 30: warning: "/usr/local" returned non-zero status: malformed entry: "Makefile", line 30: warning: "/usr/local" returned non-zero status However, portsdb -Uu does finish and shows any ports that need upgrading. I thought this might just be a temporary issue with the ports tree, but when I do this process in the jail, I dont get the above output. Any ideas? michael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
