Looking around in 14.2's : https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy20/build.html?mastername=142amd64-quarterly&build=8ba517936865 indicates in Ignored ports: 281 cinnamon-control-center-5.4.6_5 sysutils/cinnamon-control-center 1 is marked as broken: error: too few arguments to function call, expected 6, have 5 and indicates in Skipped ports: 38 cinnamon-5.4.9_8 x11/cinnamon cinnamon-control-center-5.4.6_5 Looking in 13.5's : https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy14/build.html?mastername=135amd64-quarterly&build=8ba517936865 agrees (289 bd. 281). Note the cinnamon-control-center versions vs. what freshports lists (ignoring powerpc*): 5.4.6_5 for quarterly (above row from page) 6.4.1 for latest (freshports) It appears that quarterly also has cinnamon 5.4.9_8 , instead of the likes of 6.4.10_3 or 6.4.10_4 . So, overall: quarterly is based on an old, broken version. Freshports reports: Maintainer: gnome@FreeBSD.org You might send a request there for quarterly to be updated to a non-broken version. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.comhome | help
