Hello all,

Today I CVSupped to get the RELENG_4 source on my server, so I could upgrade
my FreeBSD4.3-RELEASE to FreeBSD4.5-STABLE. But when everything was finished
and I rebooted my server, the sendmail installation was broken. When
sendmail was initialized by /etc/rc it gave me this error:

Feb 14 21:30:00 ns1 sendmail[105]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): Warning: .cf
version level (10) exceeds sendmail version 8.11.6 functionality (9)

Some time ago I already upgraded the sendmail installation to 8.12.2 so I
didn't want make world to do something with sendmail.

So I did specify in /etc/make.conf not to create sendmail, but somehow the
"old" version 8.11.6 was installed by make world.

This is my /etc/make.conf

CFLAGS= -O -pipe
NO_BIND=        true    # do not build BIND
NO_SENDMAIL=    true    # do not build sendmail and related programs
NO_X=           true    # do not compile in XWindows support (e.g. doscmd)
NOGAMES=        true    # do not build games (games/ subdir)

All other options like NO_BIND, NO_X and NOGAMES were respected with make
world. So none of these were installed.

This is the procedure I took to upgrade:
make buildworld
shutdown now    (to single user mode)
make installworld
return  (back to multi user environment)
make buildkernel KERNCONF=FIREWALL  (with IPFILTER enabled)
make installkernel KERNCONF=FIREWALL
shutdown -r now

I already fixed the sendmail installation by starting "sh Build install" in
my sendmail source directory, but what did I do wrong to cause sendmail to
be installed by make world?
