installworld (touch: not found)

[Andrew]

Hi All,

I just the "touch: not found" problem that seems to occur occaisonally
when installing world.

--------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Installing everything..

cd /usr/src; make -f Makefile.inc1 install
===> share/info
===> include
creating osreldate.h from newvers.sh
setvar PARAMFILE /usr/src/include/../sys/sys/param.h;  .
/usr/src/include/../sys/conf/newvers.sh;                echo "$COPYRIGHT"
> osreldate.h;                       echo "#ifdef _KERNEL" >> osreldate.h;
echo '#error "osreldate.h must not be used in the kernel, use
sys/param.h"' >> osreldate.h;  echo "#else" >> osreldate.h;      echo
\#'undef __FreeBSD_version' >> osreldate.h;       echo \#'define
__FreeBSD_version' $RELDATE >> osreldate.h;  echo "#endif" >> osreldate.h
touch: not found
*** Error code 127

I was trying to upgrade from 4.6.1-RELEASE-p11 to 4.8-RELEASE. I managed
to work around the problem by editing /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh and
putting in the full path to touch.

I don't know if this is a bug or something I have done wrong...I don't
know why just some boxes experience the problem.
