I'm seeing a _really_ strange problem with 3.1-RELEASE that I've just burned two days trying to figure out, and I just can't see where I'm being stupid. I'm using a standard 3.1-RELEASE system here, adding a few of my own device drivers, and building a release. For packages, I'm taking the 3.1-RELEASE /usr/ports, commenting out the ones I don't want, then running a "make package index", thereby generating packages, and the INDEX file. I roll everything on to my FTP server, and do an install (as I have with 3.0 about a four dozen times in the last couple of months). Everything works fine until I get to the packages. Then, on particular packages, it complains that it can't find a dependency, and doesn't install the package. Now, this wouldn't be weird in and of itself, except that the dependency its looking for is the first CATEGORY (ie - archivers, unless all of the archiver ports are commented out, at which time it'll look for astro, and so on...). I would say that based on my last run (INDEX file is below) that it had to do with the applications in question actually requiring a dependency. ddd, fvwm, jed, and xlockmore don't work. Anyone care to try to put a finger on this? At this point, I just don't get it, and there doesn't appear to be anything about this in the ERRATA file, or on the mailing list. -Brian PS - I apologize for the "wide" formatting of the index file. However, I wanted to maintain it as consistenly as possible, to remove the possibility of spacing being the culprit. xearth-1.0|/usr/ports/astro/xearth|/usr/X11R6|Set the root window to the image of earth.|/usr/ports/astro/xearth/pkg/DESCR|ports@FreeBSD.ORG|astro x11|| kermit-6.0.192|/usr/ports/comms/kermit|/usr/local|File transfer and terminal emulation utilitiy for serial lines and sockets.|/usr/ports/comms/kermit/pkg/DESCR|ports@FreeBSD.org|comms|| lrzsz-0.12.19|/usr/ports/comms/lrzsz|/usr/local|Receive/Send files via X/Y/ZMODEM protocol.
