Greetings
I think this problem occurred during "portmanager -u" but I can't be
certain. Portmanager did a core dump this morning. I tried a portsclean
-CD and /usr/ports/accessibility/gail/work cannot be removed. Here is
what I have tried.
p4# cd /usr/ports/accessibility/gail
p4# ls -l
total 14
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 920 Apr 12 02:21 Makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 109 Apr 12 02:21 distinfo
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Nov 10 20:16 files
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 211 Apr 4 2004 pkg-descr
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2667 Apr 12 02:21 pkg-plist
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Apr 12 10:06 work
p4# rm -r work
rm: work/gail-1.8.3/gail: Directory not empty
rm: work/gail-1.8.3: Directory not empty
rm: work: Directory not empty
p4# cd work/gail-1.8.3/gail/
p4# ls -la
total 0
p4# cd ..
p4# ls -la
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 1024 Apr 12 10:06 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Apr 12 10:06 ..
drwxr--r-- 4 root wheel 0 Apr 12 09:51 gail
p4# chflags -R noschg gail
p4# rm -r gail
rm: gail: Directory not empty
p4# rm gail
rm: gail: is a directory
p4# rmdir gail
rmdir: gail: Directory not empty
p4#
The obvious problem is that the number of links is incorrect but I don't
know how to make that right.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Robert
