During one of the install phases, a shell script called
'conf/histsetup' is called which contains the following snippet:
-----cut-----
lock -o LOCK $$ || { echo '*** cannot get the lock file' >&2 ; exit 1 ; }
status=1
trap 'unlock LOCK ; trap 0 ; exit $status' 0 1 2 15
-----cut-----
On FreeBSD, lock(1) locks the keyboard (and causes the install to fail
since there is no '-o' option). Looks like this is trying to do a
file locking check of some kind. Anybody know what the equivilent
command in FreeBSD is?
Cheers,
