The following happens to me a lot, for many packages: ===> Installing for gmake-3.81_1 ===> Generating temporary packing list ** Missing pkg-descr for gmake-3.81_1. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/gmake. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/open-motif. *** Error code 1 A workaround is to add this package with pkg_add -rv, but this is tiresome, since I must do it many times to finish a complicated port (this time the port is java/jdk15). This happened on a new install of FreeBSD poweredge.etaq.com 6.2-RC1 FreeBSD 6.2-RC1 #0: Thu Nov 16 05:12:08 UTC 2006 root@opus.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386 -- Wayne M.
