...and did I read /usr/ports/UPDATING before hitting this issue. I have upgraded perl on several of my systems without much of a problem. But today I upgraded a 6.x-current system which was probably at least three months old. I got into all kinds of weird behavior updating perl. It seemed to update, and install, but then the next perl-related port would complain that perl was not installed, so it would install it again. And then fail. Anyway, to make a long story short, I deleted all the left-over lines in /etc/make.conf which had anything to do with perl. I then did a 'portupgrade -f p5-\*', which caused perl-5.8.6_2 to be rebuilt one more time, then rebuilt all the p5-* ports, and then things seemed to be okay. Not sure what was wrong. It might have been that I had two different versions of perl installed at the time I started out. Sorry this is sparse in useful details, but I just thought I'd mention that I needed to delete those lines, and I didn't see that mentioned in the UPDATING file. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
