Sorry to be spamming the list this morning. But, impatience has gotten t=
he=20
better of me. I went ahead and took a small risk of further mucking thin=
gs=20
up. But, it worked out good. For the benefit of anyone trying to help m=
e=20
and anyone who might read this thread in the archives, let me summarize.
I had to use portupgrade -fr mailman to get mailman to reinstall. I did =
add=20
CGI_GID?=3D to the last line of /etc/make.conf. And, all of this did wor=
k.
I still have a little tidying up to do, though.
After having run portsdb -Uu, I tried to re-run portupgrade -r ruby-fnmat=
ch. =20
But, I get an error:
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/devel/ruby-fnmatch
** The port directory for 'devel/ruby-fnmatch' does not exist.
---> Skipping 'sysutils/portupgrade' (portupgrade-20020429) because=20
'devel/ruby-fnmatch' (ruby-fnmatch-1.1b_1) failed
** The following packages were not installed or upgraded (*:skipped /=20
!:failed)
! devel/ruby-fnmatch (ruby-fnmatch-1.1b_1) (port directory e=
rror)
* sysutils/portupgrade (portupgrade-20020429)
Can someone give me some insight to what these errors are all about? =20
Thanks,
Darren
