System: FreeBSD isrv.tric.tomsk.gov.ru 4.8-RC FreeBSD 4.8-RC #2: Mon Mar 31
11:20:55 NOVST 2003
root at isrv.tric.tomsk.gov.ru:/usr/obj/srv/FreeBSD/src/sys/ISRV i386

in /etc/make.conf:
PORTSDIR=    /srv/FreeBSD/ports

A fresh checkout of the port,
currently Makefile at v 1.43 2003/04/07 00:12:26 dougb

>Description:
Installation of the port fails at the post-install stage,
when it tries to edit the pkg-message file (for displaying purposes).
But the pkg-message file cannot be edited because it resides in the ports
tree
but not in the WRKDIR

It installs successfully when the ports are in /usr/ports and PORTSDIR
unset, but fails otherwise.

This is the exact error message (within the whole output):

isrv# make FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1 post-install
install -c -o root -g wheel -m 555
/srv/FreeBSD/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin/files/spamd.sh

*** Error code 1

P.S. I'm sorry to submit this again, but the case hasn't been solved the
last time at all.

>How-To-Repeat:
cd <where the ports are, other than /usr/ports>/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin
make
make install
<breaks here>

>Fix:
The suggested fix is just a resolution. Bad things are that it's not _this_
port that assumes
that ports are in /usr/ports. The problem lies much deeper, not in this
particular Makefile. Perhaps someone with a strong understanding of
<bsd.port.mk>
will find it.

We can use the (standard?) technique of referencing the pkg-* files
indirectly (through ${PKG*} macros), as is done in net/cvsupit, for example.

please, find the patch that makes this change:
