I'm brand new to using -STABLE.  I'm trying to go from 4.1-RELEASE to
4.1-STABLE.

I set up a PC with a clean install of 4.1-RELEASE from an ISO image CD
that I burned at work. (I set this maching up as a test bed before I
trashed any of my live machines.)  I then installed cvsup and cvsupd
from ports.

The cvs run against cvsup3.freebsd.org appears to work correctly.
When I try make buildworld I get:
mkdir: build: File exists
*** Error code 1

This appears to be for /contrib/perl5/toke.c

I found part of a thread in freebsd-current that appears to match my
symptoms exactly.  The thread was around 2/23/00.  The last entry talked
about 'stale dependencies' and suggested deleting /usr/obj/* and
/usr/src/*.  Then cvsuping new sources and trying again.  I could find
nothing further of the thread so I do not know how the other person made
out.

Per the Email thread, I erased /usr/src and /usr/obj, reran cvsup, and
tried make buildworld again.
I encountered the same error.

Can anybody help a -STABLE wannabe fix this?
Cheers...
