If running a release earlier than 10, /etc/make.conf requires the line WITH_PKGNG=yes for port builds to work. It would be helpful if pkg2ng automagically updated /etc/make.conf to contain this line if it is not already there; it will save a lot of complaints / questions when people upgrade. If one upgrades using pkg2ng and then attempts to build a port, the build will start to work correctly and then fail when attempting to install with a message about the package database being corrupted. The only clue to the fact that the problem is the missing entry in /etc/make.conf is that the error messages are from pkg_install, which is the old pkg environment. >How-To-Repeat: # pkg2ng # cd /usr/ports # portmaster foo/bar >Fix: Manually add WITH_PKGNG=yes to /etc/make.conf >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
