readline 8.2.10

[Mwh65]

FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p8

devel/readline was installed a few days ago with no errors. However I'm now being informed that ...

readline-8.2.10                    >   succeeds index (index has 8.2.:[.1]})

and to me that index looks corrupted. This isn't a major issue but any ideas what's gone wrong here?

Don't have the answers but make fetchindex seems to make it happier.

root@r430:/usr/ports/devel/ # pkg version -vIL=
readline-8.2.10                    >   succeeds index (index has 8.2.:[.1]})
root@r430:/usr/ports/devel/ # cd /usr/ports/
root@r430:/usr/ports # make fetchindex
/usr/bin/env  fetch -am -o /usr/ports/INDEX-13.xz  https://download.FreeBSD.org/ports/index/INDEX-13.xz
/usr/ports/INDEX-13.xz                                1793 kB  976 kBps    01s
root@r430:/usr/ports # pkg version -vIL=
root@r430:/usr/ports #

EDIT: but after portsnap fetch update, back to the same "succeeds index" message that I (briefly!) got rid of.

readline-8.2.:[.1]}

Is actually in the INDEX-13 file, after make fetchindex it changes to

readline-8.2.10

Running make index gives the same result in INDEX-13

readline-8.2.10

Yes same here. Fixed it temporarily but back to what it was originally this morning.

For some reason, some index seems to be built using an old version of make(1) (pre FreeBSD 13) which doesn't understand an expansion used in this port. I don't know how and why exactly.
