There are other ways to work this around as well - like not using portupgrade at all and building everything with make. The problem is that there's a bug introduced by some of the recent portupgrade versions that changes its documented behavior. The '-M' switch in partucular no longer works, thus causing any existing port/package installation scripts depending on that switch to build packages with incorrect optional parameters. It's not a problem with a particular port. The www/apache13 port was given just as example how to reproduce the bug. This affects _all_ ports when installed/upgraded/built via portupgrade and when the '-M' switch is used. > (Isn't it time to migrate to a newer Apache version anyways? 8-) ) > (This is a long subject and kind of off-topic here. My short answer is no, or not yet. In some environments there are still legitimate reasons to use 1.3) Regards, Atanashome | help
