Hello,
I had a VERY similar issue this weekend. I use cvs all the time to
upgrade my prodution web servers so I was dumdfounded when this week end
when I used cvs to upgrade a brand new machine from 4.4 to 4.5. .
I went to all over looking for documentation and tried all the ways I
could find to use cvs from long complicated instructions to short two line
ways. Well to make a long story short I ended up using a simple "make
world" and compiled the kernel afterwards manually. Is ths right or wrong,
i dont know. Why it worked...i dont know. All i know is it worked after
more than 10 failures the "freebsd suggested way" with doing nothing
different. But dont forget to update your pw file and group file to include
the new mail user smmsp and use "mergemaster -v" at the end (this will
update your /etc dir and do MAKEDEV if needed). Many things are different
this time around.
Good Luck,
Roger
