Well, I en devoured to install a copy of 7 as an effort to upgrade
one of our servers. After installing a few ports, I began to notice:
[: -le: argument expected messages being emitted during the configure/make
process.
This probably indicates badly written configure scripts that have
things like "[ 23 -le $x ]" but don't set $x. The solution is to
write patches for the configure scripts and feed them back upstream.
Bummer.
I've already invested a fair amount of time on this upgrade,
and /really/ don't want to wipe the disk(s) and start all over.
I'm not sure how this will help.
Good. Perhaps you (or anyone) can suggest how I might debug /when/where/
these eval are called. I could use /usr/bin/script, but not sure how to
(e)grep the culprit(s).
This
issue is not new to me - see thread:[: -le: argument expected for details.
You haven't mentioned where this thread exists - definitely not here.
Ahem...

I wanted to sync up my ports database before hand. So ran a portsdb -uU.

Hello again Jeremy,
Well, after carefully examining your reply; emptying /etc/make.conf;
searching for any sign of another Apache APR, and finding none.;
performing a cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile && portsdb -uU && pkgdb -F;
which resulted in many [: -le: argument expected's, and
[: -eq: argument expected's; I performed a: cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 &&
make extract; Yep! You guessed it, [: -le: argument expected again!
Well, what was expected to be a 3 day affair, has turned into a 2 week
affair. At least that's been my past experience with installing a
FreeBSD server (3 days). :)
Anyway, I've run out of patience (and time) debugging this issue. So
I think it would be more expedient to wipe the disk and start anew. :)
If I should run into this again on the new install. I guess a
send-pr would be in order. Oh, and expect /alot/ of noise in the list. :)
Thank you again for your continued (and valued) input.
Best wishes.

I didn't mean to sound argumentative but the above was my last posting
to the thread: [: -le: argument expected
in freebsd-stable on Feb 2008. :)
Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
