FreeBSD Port: devel/libcheck - bug in package

[Martin Olsson]

Well, I don't know what the problem was. But if I chose to [i]gnore the 
fault instead of [a]bort the whole run, a new package was created 
sucessfully.
If I then re-ran the command to rebuild libcheck, it worked fine, 
probably because it could now sucessfully create that backup of the old 
version:


portmaster --no-confirm -dg devel/libcheck
<snip>
gmake[2]: Leaving directory 
`/usr/ports/devel/libcheck/work/check-0.9.9/tests'
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/devel/libcheck/work/check-0.9.9'

===>>> Creating a backup package for old version libcheck-0.9.9
##### No error creating the backup package of the old version #####

===>  Installing for libcheck-0.9.9

===>>> Creating a package for new version libcheck-0.9.9
         ===>>> Package saved to /usr/ports/packages/All

===>>> Re-installation of libcheck-0.9.9 complete

===>>> Exiting




So, I no longer have the problem. I'm still curious as to how it was 
introduced though. I do *nothing* out of the ordinary in the ports tree.
