When running portmaster -d -w -r pcre because of the upgrade from
pcre-8.31 to pcre-8.32 I encountered the following inconveniences:
Upgrade to hal-0.5.14_20 failed with the message it needs intltool >
0.40 which was installed at the time. First upgrading to intltool-0.41.1
solved this.
When reinstalling xorg-server-1.7.7_6,1 with portmaster today:
Making install in xkb
mkdir: /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/compiled: No such file or directory
mkdir: /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/compiled: No such file or directory
So I checked /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/compiled and this is a symlink to
/var/lib/xkb which did not exist at the time. I created /var/lib/xkb and
the installation went fine then. There is one file installed in this
location: README.compiled
This worked, but is it the right solution? Does anyone know what changed
maybe?
This is on 9.1-RELEASE with a portstree just updated with portsnap.
Previous versions of the ports were from about 20 days ago. Everything
is installed the standard way.
Just if someone runs into these issues these may be found in the list
(or already have been solved in ports) Things like this do not happen
too often.
