ls -l appears to fail, newly created files are older than thedistributed ones.

[tommy]

Hi!
I have a problem installing several ports. I'm currently
using FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE-p2 but the problem occured
also on my former 5.2-RELEASE and 4.7-RELEASE. When
trying to "make install" on some ports (for example gettext and
stunnel and mod_php4) I get the error:
"configure: error: newly created file is older than distributed files!":

Please report the problem to ports at FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/usr/ports/devel/gettext/work/gettext-0.13.1/config.log" including the 
output
of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to 
provide
an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls
/var/db/pkg`).

----------------------------------------------------

My "date" displays correct information and the information displayed in 
BIOS is also correct.
I really don't know, what could be the problem. Does anyone know a 
possible solution (or
at least the cause) of this problem? Any (really ANY) help is 
appreciated, i'm desperate...
Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Tomas Kacmary
