I managed to "stub my toe" on additional ports that exhibited this behavior this morning -- among them, lang/gcc and devel/git. I have updated the above-cited bug report with a little shell script I cobbled up that (despite its unfortunate name) will check specified installed ports/packages and report if any are determined to lack one or more files that are supposed to have been installed. Folks who have a symlink for /usr/local (or whatever $LOCALBASE expands to) and who rely on "make install" to install ports might want to take a look: I was a bit surprised at the number of affected ports. (Note that portmaster uses "make install"; I would expect that portupgrade does, as well.) A circumvention (as mentioned in the bug report) is to: "make clean package deinstall && pkg add work/pkg/* && make clean" within the port directory. Checking through a typescript from work, I *think* this showed up between 25 September - 02 October. Peace, david --=20 David H.
