It's trying to install zh locale stuff. In make.conf, I set DOC to en_something, so why is it doing other languages? This has been occurring for a short while and I've been getting around it with make -k installworld. But that no longer works. I'm tracking the 7.2 (RELENG_7). Here's an excerpt from the log: ===> share/timedef (install) install -C -o root -g wheel -m 444 nb_NO.ISO8859-1.out /usr/share/locale/nb_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME install: /usr/share/locale/nb_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME: Too many levels of symbolic links *** Error code 71 Stop in /usr/src/share/timedef. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/share. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. I am able to work around this issue by placing WITHOUT_LOCALES=yes in /etc/src.conf, but I hate to do that 8o) Greg found the issue back in February, but no one has fixed it...

The solution is to remove one symlink and replace it with a real file as shown below: rm -f /usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME touch /usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME Now /usr/share/locale/nb_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME is a symbolic link and /usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME is a real (albeot zero length) file. And, yes, someone ought to fix this in CVS. -- Greg -- Steven Friedrich Lexington, KY 40509
