Hello
I was happily using FreeBSD 4.6 Stable. I had successfully installed =
several ports and downloaded .tar(s) without any problems.
I recently ran cvsup with src-all in the supfile and upgraded to FreeBSD =
4.8-STABLE.
I did the proper steps to upgrade ..
make buildworld
make buildkernel ...
make installkernel ...
make installworld
I updated my ports to the latest versions as well using cvsup.
Now whenever I try to install any ports package I get the following =
error:
pkg_create: only one package name allowed ('interface' extraneous)
usage: pkg_create [-YNOhvy] [-P pkgs] [-p prefix] [-f contents] [-i =
iscript]
[-I piscript] [-k dscript] [-K pdscript] [-r rscript]
[-t template] [-X excludefile] [-D displayfile]
[-m mtreefile] [-o origin] -c comment -d description
-f packlist pkg-filename
pkg_create [-YNhvy] -b pkg-name [pkg-filename]
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/security/p5-Authen-PAM.
Looking at the Makefile:
PORTNAME=3D Authen-PAM
PORTVERSION=3D 0.14
CATEGORIES=3D security perl5
MASTER_SITES=3D ${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN}
MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR=3D Authen
PKGNAMEPREFIX=3D p5-
MAINTAINER=3D des@FreeBSD.org
COMMENT=3D A Perl interface to the PAM library
PERL_CONFIGURE=3D yes
CONFIGURE_ARGS=3D -DPAM_STRERROR_NEEDS_PAMH
MAN3PREFIX=3D ${PREFIX}/lib/perl5/${PERL_VERSION}
MAN3=3D Authen::FAQ.3 \
Authen::PAM.3
.include <bsd.port.mk>
The "interface" comes from the COMMENT=3D line. Note that this error =
happens no matter what port I try to install.
When I try to: make deinstall
I get this error:
=3D=3D=3D> Deinstalling for p5-Authen-PAM-0.14
pkg_delete: package 'p5-Authen-PAM-0.14' doesn't have a prefix
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/security/p5-Authen-PAM.
Again this error is the same for all ports.
When I try to do pkg_info:
nexus# pkg_info p5-Authen-PAM-0.14
Information for p5-Authen-PAM-0.14:
Comment:
ERROR: show_file: Can't open '+COMMENT' for reading!
Description:
ERROR: show_file: Can't open '+DESC' for reading!
I tried to remake and reinstall the pkg_install located in =
/usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install but that had no effect.
Has something drastic changed in 4.8, or am I missing something major?
Please help.
Tom
