I run a number of FreeBSD 4.X servers going back to 4.4. When I download a
port that wasn't included in the release, it makes and make installs OK until
I get the error below. Then I rm -r /var/db/pkg/portname to get rid of the
partial record (else it causes reporting problems) and the port works fine.
Is there anything I can do to get around this without updating the OS (these
are production servers)? Looks like it is just a wrong parameter or a
missing set of quotes wherever pkg_create is called from
(/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk?).
Thanks
Jim
