Did an update of ports-all/cvs as of Thu Mar 4 00:12:01 PST 2004 ...
Ran "make describe" under /usr/ports ...
End of the output as follows:
===> editors/staroffice5
staroffice-5.1a|/usr/ports/editors/staroffice5|/usr/local|Integrated wordprocessor/dbase/spreadheet/drawing/chart/browser|/usr/ports/editors/staroffice5/pkg-descr|mb at imp.ch|editors linux|/usr/ports/archivers/unzip|/usr/ports/emulators/linux_base|
===> editors/staroffice52
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/editors.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports.
TIA for your help!
Cheers, Rich
