pkg_add(1) fetched an older package of dnsmasq which, in turn, had been linked against the older libidn library. This is expected behavior if you are running -RELEASE, as documented in the FreeBSD Handbook (4.4.1 Installing a Package): Note: pkg_add(1) will download the latest version of your application if you are using FreeBSD-CURRENT or FreeBSD-STABLE. If you run a -RELEASE version, it will grab the version of the package that was built with your release. It is possible to change this behavior by overriding PACKAGESITE. For example, if you run a FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE system, by default pkg_add(1) will try to fetch packages from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/. If you want to force pkg_add(1) to download FreeBSD 8-STABLE packages, set PACKAGESITE to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/Latest/. > - can this be fixed in ports ?

There is no problem to be fixed; either compile the dnsmasq port yourself, or fetch a -STABLE package. -- Sahil Tandon <sa...@freebsd.org> _______________________________________________ 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"
