Solved [Solved] OpenSSL 1.0.1_14 "*** [fake-pkg] Error code 74"

FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p6 #0: Wed Aug 21 20:30:17 UTC 2013 i386

Triggered by this security advice: http://portaudit.freebsd.org/8aff07eb-1dbd-11e4-b6ba-3c970e169bc2.html I wanted to update OpenSSL from 1.0.1_13 to 1.0.1_14.

I did portsnap fetch update which seemed to do what it should (no errors!). Then I deinstalled the old version, cleaned, and then did make && make install. This built the port and tried to install, but failed in the end with

===>   Registering installation for openssl-1.0.1_14
*** [fake-pkg] Error code 74

Stop in /usr/ports/security/openssl.
*** [install] Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/security/openssl.

I tried to fix it by adding

NO_STAGE=yes

into /etc/make.conf and then repeat the make deinstall clean, make, make install, but the result was the same.

I tried to find an explanation of the error, but with no great luck:

*** [fake-pkg] Error code 74

Anyone knows where I can find documentation of this error? Has anyone else had this with this specific port?

After reading old mail streams containing this error message, I found one mentioning of a pathing issue in ports-mgmt/pkg. I updated that with portupgrade - removed and rebuilt, and it worked.

The mail I read was this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2013-September/253439.html

Sum up: This issue was fixed by updating ports-mgmt/pkg to version 1.3.5.1.
