installworld fails - because I deleted master.passwd?

[TomAmundsen]

Hi,

I recently upgraded my source tree using cvsup. Then I did
make buildworld
make KERNCONF=MYKERNEL kernel
(reboot)
mergemaster -p
make installworld

However, when I was running 'mergemaster -p' I think I accidentally deleted my old master.passwd. Then, when I went to do 'make installworld' it failed. Here is the output:

mkdir -p /tmp/install.OZoAkQAa

I redid
make buildworld
make KERNCONF=MYKERNEL kernel
(reboot)
make installworld

without doing 'mergemaster -p' and I still get exactly the same result.

Is this because I deleted master.passwd?' Is it because of something else? How can I got about trying to correct this?

P.S. - All of my applications are still working fine, besides Firefox.

Read from the Handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html

I think the right way to build the kernel is this:

# make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
# make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL

Read this thread too - it explains what you want to do:

I missed (didn't see it the first time) the kernel word at the end of the make command - your kernel should build this way too.

What is your # sysctl kern.securelevel ? If I'm correct if you are with a securelevel 1 or higher when you are rebuilding your kernel the make install command will try to install your kernel with the schg flag.

===> lib/libc (install)
install -C -o root -g wheel -m 444   libc.a /usr/lib
install -C -o root -g wheel -m 444   libc_p.a /usr/lib
install -s -o root -g wheel -m 444   -fschg -S  libc.so.7 /lib
ln -fs /lib/libc.so.7  /usr/lib/libc.so
ln: /usr/lib/libc.so: Operation not permitted
*** Error code 1

In this case I think your libc.so.7 library is being installed with the schg flag, so try to remove it.

For further information read the man page of chflags.

It is -1

Is it still worth trying to do this even if I did make with securelevel=-1?

You mean you overwrote it via mergemaster? Or you manually deleted it?

Before rebuilding world, it's a good idea to first back up /etc. If you totally bork things you can just start over with a good copy of /etc and try again.

ln -fs /lib/libc.so.7 /usr/lib/libc.so
ln: /usr/lib/libc.so: Operation not permitted

As mentioned, try removing all flags from /lib/libc.so.7. Then, from /usr/src run make cleanworld and start over from the beginning.

Sorry, I meant overwrote with mergemaster.

Yea, I figured that out too late.

Ah, OK. Thanks!
