FreeBSD epsdev.com 4.9-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan 29 22:38:49 PST 2004 user@jail16.johncompanies.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/jail16 i386 ...As you see might guess, this is (modified) jail(2) setup -- a "virtual server", if it matters... Here are the contents of my ports supfile: *default host=cvsup13.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress ports-all In case my ports collection had been somehow corrupted beyond what a cvsup-date could handle, or if my virtual server provider installed a bad ports tree, I just did a completely new cvsup checkout of that into an new, empty /usr/ports... Not that I know it was really corrupted per se; just my being proactively superstitious. :) But I get the same problem with 'make index', and after restoring the 2/17 good INDEX, I get the same error for 'make describe', stopping at the editors/staroffice52 port. Is there any other area in my system that affects the ports that might be corrupted? Thanks! -Rich -- Richard Dawes rdawes@epstais.com
