/etc/make.profile/make.defaults

The desired file, under /etc exists, is not a symbolic or hard link, and is not
excluded by any criterion I am aware of.  Other files with the same basename are
found correctly.

/etc/make.profile *is* a symlink (unless you've tweaked your current setup.)
Comment 2 Ian Smith 2002-04-04 12:37:31 UTC 
The bug report is referring to /etc/make.defaults, NOT /etc/make.profile.

Strangely enough I had equal trouble being understood on IRC . . .

And yes, /etc/make/profile IS a symlink, I made it following your upgrade
instructions.  Anyway, back to /etc/make.profile/make.defaults . . .

Very sorry, tired.
