I cvsupped July 11 and did a make buildworld, make buildkernel KERNCON=CHANGLING, reboot make installworld, mergemaster on 3 different boxes. All is/was well on 2 of the 3 boxes, but on the third any/every make install or portupgrade [filename] errors out with Error Code 1 right after make install checks for a previous installation. The option FORCE_PKG_REGISTER="yes'" allows the installation to completesuccessfully, the portupgrade -m FORCE_PKG_REGISTER="yes'" switch also succeeds. I NFS mounted /usr/ports from the broken fileserver on a laptop (4.8-STABLE from same cvs updated sources) and I can make install or portupgrade with no errors at all. pkg_info -q -O some/port on the laptop returns the package name of the installed port pkg_info -q -O some/port on the fileserver returns: pkg_info: package cvsupd-bin-16.1 has no origin recorded pkg_info: package ghostscript-6.01_1 has no origin recorded pkg_info: /var/db/pkg/jdk-tutorial-1.1.8/+CONTENTS: No such file or directory Something in my /var/db/pkg/files is seriously hosed, I suspect, and I'm trying to figure out how to un-hose it. And since this didn't happen until immediately after a cvsupdate and build, I'm curious about the cause. As far as why I wasn't using just the package names for my pkg commands: I was until about Sunday morning when I just started trying some other approaches to see if I could shake something loose.
