Perhaps at the time it was empty, but it isn't now. I tried what Scot said and it gave me "/usr/ports/distfiles". I also ran "portmaster --clean-distfiles-all" again and it completed as expected, deleting a few disftiles, but nothing else. Also, I'm not completely sure, but it seems like it has only deleted stuff in my ~, that is nothing outside of ~lars. It has probably got something to do with the fact that I su'd from lars to root, likely without cd'ing to somewhere else, when I ran clean-distfiles-all the other day. > I think I can see _what_ is happening, although I can't tell you why it's > happening.

Can you please try the attached patch and tell > me if you get the error? What I meant was just that it stopped deleting files (for some reason), when it got to a file I have, originally called "STUDIEFORLĂBSBESKRIVELSE". At some point in time the "Ă" in the file name was replaced by "??" and a lot of programs choke on that. It probably hasn't got anything to do with portmaster anyway. :) > >> Portmaster uses the following to determine the value of DISTDIR.

I finally got around to having a look at it. It wouldn't make much sense to try the patch now that DISTDIR isn't empty (anymore?), but if there's anything else I can do, I'll do it. By the way, I had backup of everything, so nothing is lost. :) _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
