It's appeard in 5.2.1-RELEASE also. To see just how many users ARE getting this, simply search the list Here, and in Questions for just the past 7 days. This IS an issue with 4.10, 5.2.1, and 5.XBeta The fix you mention DOES work, however, once you cvsup, run portsdb -u, its broken again. I have tested several ways around this over the last 3 days. Please, dont mention a fix unless you KNOW even after a cvsup it still works. -- Best regards, Chris In order for something to become clean, something else must become dirty. ... but you can get everything dirty without getting anything clean.
