Use the following to findout which package has the error: grep -l "@comment MD5:e417e49fb3570516da077756fc1e7df9" /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS Then use your editor to verify/repair the corrupted +CONTENTS file. There should be two lines above "@comment MD5:e417e49fb3570516da077756fc1e7df9", this line should be an "@comment DEPORIGIN:<portcategory/portname>" and the path to a file. Example: @pkgdep libXmu-1.0.4,1 @comment DEPORIGIN:x11-toolkits/libXmu bin/xwd @comment MD5:<MD5 signature for bin/xwd> Just use the pkgdep line to determine which port in /usr/ports/ this pkgdep is, and add its path on a @comment DEPORIGIN line. Then use your portmanager/portupgrade tool to reinstall the broken package. Scot P.S. I had to fix a couple of missing "@comment ORIGIN:<category/portname>" lines this way due to corruption/empty +CONTENTS files. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
