Unknown modifier 'u' using pkg_version

[hansaplast]

Hi,

When I use /usr/sbin/pkg_version -l "<" I get the following output

arj                                 <
docbook                             <
Unknown modifier 'u'
polkit                              <
Unknown modifier 'u'
...

I'm using 6.2-RELEASE.

Don't know what's wrong here.

Regards,

Hansa

try the command # pkg_version -vIL= which use the INDEX file from the ports.

If you see a output like 'Comparison failed' than It is possible the port is (re)moved or replaced.

No luck
# pkg_version -vIL= works fine. No errors there.
Since I'm using 6.2-RELEASE I'll probably have to upgrade/install to Current. I've think I've waited to long :\
Building a port by using [cmd=]make[/cmd] in the ports folder also gives me the [cmd=]Unknown modifier 'u'[/cmd] error.

See http://www.freebsd.org/ports/
"The Ports Collection supports the latest release on the FreeBSD-CURRENT and FreeBSD-STABLE branches. Older releases are not supported and may or may not work correctly with an up-to-date ports collection."

Well.. Give's me something to do next weekend. Or the weekend after that...

Thanks anyway.
