I'm updating the objc port to the latest version (2.2.15) and nearly finished, except that the deinstall target is giving me some very weird results. I'm installing a good handful of man pages, and they're listed in MAN1 and MAN3, and they're being gzipped just fine (make package works fine). When I run make deinstall, here's what I get: ===> Deinstalling for objc-2.2.15 pkg_delete: file `/usr/local/man/man1/cvtimport.1.gz' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is incorrectly specified?) Understand I deleted all the other manpages listed (they all look identical except for the man page name). The files are really being installed, and they're really being deinstalled, I checked this carefully, so why the error? This is on FreeBSD-current, with a very current ports tree. I tried splitting up bsd.port.mk into bsd.port.pre.mk and bsd.port.post.mk but that had no effect. BTW, notice that bsd.port.pre.mk and bsd.port.post.mk are documented nowhere? I finally found Satoshi's original mail on it, to guide me into making that change. As soon as the pkg_delete thing gets figured out, I'll commit the new port. objc has come a long, long way! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
