Description Iguimar Antônio Fernandes 2008-01-20 12:50:05 UTC

Hi I have a motherboard p5p premium series, processor amd64, freebsd 6.2 updated to 6.3. I made all operation to get updated the system, as follow below:

1) cd /usr/src
2) make buildworld
3) cd /sys/i386/conf
4) config <my-kernel>
5) cd ../compile/<my-kernel>
6) make depend && make && make install
7) reboot
8) Choice "Single User Mode"  option (4)  from Menu
9) login as root
10)mergemaster -p
11)cd /usr/src
12)make installworld
13)mergemaster
14)reboot
15)login as root
16)portupgrade -a


Everything works fine. But when a tried compile some ports, (vscan, courier-imap for example), I receive the following error message:  "courier-imap-4.3.0,1 is marked as broken: "Incomplete pkg-plist", "*uvscan-5.10e_2* is marked as broken: "Incomplete pkg-plist" uvscan-5.10e_2 is marked as broken: Incomplete pkg-plist. Other ports works good.
Do you have any ideia.
I will apreciate any help.
Thanks
Iguimar

How-To-Repeat: Always I try to do make on the port.

This is by design. 

We try to make ports install _and_ deinstall cleanly.  What you are 
finding is some ports that do not deinstall cleanly, and thus don't meet 
our criteria for proper ports and have been marked "broken".  Most likely 
there are files that are left behind on deinstall; in a few cases, files 
may be listed for deinstall that aren't installed in the first place. 

You can find out if the ports are already fixed via: 

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/ 

or take a look at the ports monitoring system to find out if there are 
still errors:
