mergemaster error, sendmail, RELENG_4

[Kenneth W Cochran]

Hello -stable:

I'm getting an error & stoppage from mergemaster in RELENG_4
(now 4.9-PRERELEASE), just updated a few minutes ago, vis:

--------------------
cd /usr/src/etc/sendmail; make distribution
install -o root -g wheel -m 644  /usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc freebsd.cf /var/tmp/temproot/etc/mail
install: freebsd.cf: No such file or directory
*** Error code 71

Stop in /usr/src/etc/sendmail.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/etc.

  *** FATAL ERROR: Cannot 'cd' to /usr/src/etc and install files to
      the temproot environment
--------------------

OS is 4.8-STABLE as of 15 August, 2003.
Any ideas/fixes/workarounds?

Thanks,

-kc
