Hello -

I recently installed FreeBSD 4.5 from CD, including the ports collection.

I then installed CVSup from the ports collection and used cvsup to update
src-all, doc-all, and ports-all.

Here is the cvsup command that I used:

	cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupfile

Here are the contents of /etc/cvsupfile :

	*default  host=cvsup8.FreeBSD.org
	*default  base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
	*default  prefix=/usr
	*default  release=cvs
	*default  tag=RELENG_4_4
	*default  delete use-rel-suffix
	*default  compress
	src-all
	*default tag=.
	ports-all
	doc-all


Next, I did this:

	cd /usr/src
	make buildworld

That went OK so I tried this:

	cd /usr/src
	make buildworld

Oops. That failed in the /usr/share/colldef section with the following
error messages:

   install: /usr/share/locale/ru_SU.CP866/LC_COLLATE: Too many levels of symbolic links
   *** Error code 71

   Stop in /usr/src/share/colldef.
   *** Error code 1

   Stop in /usr/src/share.
   *** Error code 1

I then found these sym links in directory /usr/share/local/ :

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  11 Jun  4 16:51 ru_RU.CP866@ -> ru_SU.CP866
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  16 Jun  4 16:51 ru_RU.ISO_8859-5@ -> ru_SU.ISO_8859-5
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  12 Jun  4 16:51 ru_RU.KOI8-R@ -> ru_SU.KOI8-R
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  11 Jun  2 02:54 ru_SU.CP866@ -> ru_RU.CP866
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  15 Jun  2 02:54 ru_SU.ISO8859-5@ -> ru_RU.ISO8859-5
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  15 Jun  2 02:54 ru_SU.ISO_8859-5@ -> ru_RU.ISO8859-5
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  12 Jun  2 02:54 ru_SU.KOI8-R@ -> ru_RU.KOI8-R

I'm not sure what to do next.

In case it helps, here's the output of "uname -a":

FreeBSD 209-189-205-34.2alpha.com 4.5-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE #0: Mon Jan 28 14:31:56 GMT 2002     murray@builder.freebsdmall.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386


Thanks, in advance for any help with this.
