The package building clusters try to grab the files from the MASTER_SITE (which is what most users will do) and if the file has changed there it will squeal. Using mirrors is great but the files the mirrors have don't get updated until they change on ftp.freebsd.org. They won't change on ftp.freebsd.org until the port is fixed. :) -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
