Problem installing linux_base-8

Johan,

Do you have your ports tree mounted over NFS? You are having a problem getting 
an exclusive lock on one of the files during the install process of this 
port. I have experienced this exact same issue when dealing with a ports tree 
mounted over NFS.

I solved the problem temporarily by copying 
the /usr/ports/emulation/linux_base-8 directory to another location on local 
storage and make installing from there.

However, after much frustration with similar issues and issues of 
synchronization (I had a common ports tree mapped on four FreeBSD machines) I 
decided to move the ports back to local. I merely NFS map the distfiles 
directory now.

Hope this information is of some help
