I see the problem in the checkouts file you sent me. I still don't understand why it is happening, but I should be able to figure it out now. Here is the work-around I recommend to everybody who is having this problem: 1. Delete the "jakarta-tomcat' directory from your ports tree with "rm -rf". 2. Find your checkouts file. It is named "/usr/sup/ports-all/checkouts.cvs:." if you are using the example "ports-supfile" from "/usr/share/examples/cvsup". Or substitute your actual collection name for "ports-all" if you're doing things differently. Edit this file and delete all lines containing "jakarta-tomcat". 3. Run cvsup in the usual way, but without the "-s" option. If things are still messed up after that, your machine is haunted. :-} John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
