It gets sorted out when the version number of the pdksh port is bumped to something which pkg_version considers as newer than 5.2.14 (5.2.14p2 could be a good new version number.) If he is not already aware of this, then contacting the port maintainer might be a good idea, yes. (I saw a report about this on the freebsd-ports list before, so the maintainer might already be aware of this.) > > Just meaning to help 'em out in any way I can for now. > > Stacey > > On Wed, 2002-05-15 at 23:23, Erik Trulsson wrote: > > On Wed, May 15, 2002 at 10:26:29PM +0100, S.
