Cheers, Anyone seeing problems with the "make index" or the "portsdb -Uu" runs on 4.8-STABLE cvsupd today after 1PM CDT. Mine are quite borked up, and am trying to determine if the problems are local to my system. I have posted to the ports list earlier in the day also. Regards, Stephen Hilton nospam@hiltonbsd.com

my ports database seems to have become broken. I'm running -stable, but haven't rebuilt the system in a year or so (I know, security vulerabilities, but the box has been shelved in this time). anyhow, at this point, I can't do even a make clean in ports, or build portupgrade. I fetched portupgrade with pkg_add hoping that running pkgdb -F would sort things out, but it errors with: **

Last time I ran portsdb -Uu, this is wat it produced: zircon# portsdb -Uu Updating the ports index ... zh-bg5pdf-1.0.0:"/usr/ports/print/pdflib3" non-existent -- dependency list incomplete "Makefile", line 17: Could not find /...

Greetings, Well, I en devoured to install a copy of 7 as an effort to upgrade one of our servers. After installing a few ports, I began to notice: [: -le: argument expected messages being emitted during the configure/make process. I've already invested a fair amount of time on this upgrade, and /really/ don't want to wipe the disk(s) and start all over. This issue is not new to me - see

Hi all, Having a bit of a problem with portupgrade on a -STABLE machine: [root@erwin]/root: portupgrade -aRn ---> Session started at: Tue, 27 May 2003 22:54:00 +1000 closed stream ---> Session ended at: Tue, 27 May 2003 22:54:01 +1000 (consumed 00:00:01) [root@erwin]/root: pkgdb -F does the same thing. Any clues? cheers, Rob [root@erwin]/root: uname -a FreeBSD erwin.number6

Now, this surely looks like flaky memory to me. Unfortunately, I can only reproduce this problem with recent kernels (messages above are from a Sept-10 update); however, I _can_ reliably trigger these problems. Rolling back to a Jul 29 kernel means these issues no longer show up. I've h...

/usr/ports/www/README.html went from some 200 lines to over 500 on a `make readme' in that directory just now. I thought `cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsup_ports' would update the README.html files too. Should I be running `make readme' and/or `make index' (and/or anything else) myself after cvsupdating ports? -- Doug Lee dgl@dlee.org http://www.dlee.org Bartimaeus

Dear FreeBSD users and system administrators, While the FreeBSD Security Team has traditionally been very good at investigating and responding to security issues in FreeBSD, this only solves half of the security problem: Unless users and administrators of FreeBSD systems apply the security patches provided, the advisories issued accomplish little beyond alerting potential attackers to the
