Hi list

I'm upgrading 5.4 p18 to 6.1 p6.

here's my tag: RELENG_6_1

I did:
make update
make cleanworld
make buildworld

which gives following issue:

cap_mkdb: illegal option -i

It seems a known problem on netbsd during buildworld compilation. here's
the solution I'm tring:

cd /usr/src/usr.bin/cap_mkdb
make clean
make
make install

and I'm building world again.

is that a known problem on freebsd?

This shouldn't happen. The buildworld target detects the current
version of your system, and bootstraps cap_mkdb if necessary:

: .if ${BOOTSTRAPPING} < 600015
: _cap_mkdb= usr.bin/cap_mkdb
: .endif

BOOTSTRAPPING is defined as follows:

: .if !defined(OSRELDATE)
: .if exists(/usr/include/osreldate.h)
: OSRELDATE!= awk '/^\#define[[:space:]]*__FreeBSD_version/ { print $$3 }' \
: /usr/include/osreldate.h
: .else
: OSRELDATE= 0
: .endif

That is, it's the value of __FreeBSD_version as defined in
/usr/include/osreldate.h. If your /usr/include/osreldate.h
is lying about the current version, e.g. if you accidentally
installed the new headers, then you can force it to zero,
such as:

make buildworld OSRELDATE=0
