I have been installing FreeBSD 12.2 RELEASE, latest, on this computer.
Yesterday, I installed Libreoffice. from the ports (Make Install Clean)...which took many hours, but at last it was finished.
Then I attempted to install Thunderbird, which also took a long time, finally arriving at an error code 1. It couldn't find the file proc-macro2-1.0.21.tar.gz and told me I should go find the file, put it in /usr/ports/distfiles and try again.
So....I went out on the web searching for this file and was unable to find it anywhere.
I don't suppose any kind soul on this forum might have that file and could either point me to it, or send it to me?
If I were to use PKG INSTALL instead, would this avoid this issue?
