Hello,

First of all, I'm new to freebsd, so I may be missing something obvious.

I install RELENG-8, then updated STABLE following the handbook.


I'm now trying to install xorg with portmaster -P x11/xorg but I am
having a problem with the xterm ports:

| ===>>> Starting check for runtime dependencies
| ===>>> Gathering dependency list for x11/xterm from ports
| ===>>> Starting dependency check
| ===>>> Dependency check complete for x11/xterm
|         x11/xorg >> x11/xorg-apps >> x11/xterm
| 
| ===>  Installing for xterm-251_1
| ===>   Generating temporary packing list
| ** Missing pkg-descr for xterm-251_1.
| *** Error code 1
| 
| Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xterm.
| 
| ===>>> Installation of xterm-251_1 (x11/xterm) failed
| ===>>> Aborting update
| 
| ===>>> Update for x11/xterm failed
| ===>>> Aborting update


I don't understand, since the file exists:
| wc /usr/ports/x11/xterm/pkg-descr 
|       10      68     479 /usr/ports/x11/xterm/pkg-descr


I already had the same problem with the xf86-video-ati ports, I updated
the ports tree (portsnap fetch&update), but now, portsnap the tree is
up-to-date.

I also tried deleting /usr/ports/distfiles/xterm-251.tgz and starting
again, but it didn't work.

I don't know what else to do. Any idea?

The only thing special in here is that I have a really slow internet
connection, but I don't see how it could cause such a problem.

Thank you in advance

samlt
