In my freshly installed 4.4-Release, the file /usr/ports/lang/perl5/pkg-descr says "This port is marked FORBIDDEN as it conflics[sic] badly with the Perl5 that is in the 'base' system. If I mirror the directory ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/- current/ports/lang/perl5 to my /usr/ports/lang/perl5 directory (after removing the original files) and then try "make", I get (oddly) the error "perl-5.005.tar.gz is not in /usr/ports/lang/perl5/distinfo." (even though this distinfo is from the newly downloaded port and distinfo doesn't mention that filename). I'm probably doing some obvious thing wrong, but I can't seem to figure that out. > >>>>> "RK" == Richard Kaestner <richard.kaestner@ycn.com> writes: > > RK> I am not sure, but isn't there a note NOT to upgrade perl ????? > > Not any more. :-) > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
