Okay, I ran mergemaster -i and it failed like this -
=============
mtree -deU -f /usr/src/etc/mtree/BSD.sendmail.dist -p /var/tmp/temproot
mtree: line 10: unknown user smmsp
*** error code 1
Stop in /usr/src/etc
*** Fatal error: cannot 'cd' to /usr/src/etc and install files to
the temproot environment.
================
When I ran mergemaster -i it asked the question -
===========
The directory specified for temporary root environment /var/tmp/temproot
exists...
use d to delete ....
use t to select another...
use e to exit....
default is to use /var/tmp/temproot as is
How should I deal with this? [Use existing....]
===========
I pressed enter to use existing directory and got the above error. Which
option should I try?
