During emerge of tetex:

/usr/lib/portage/bin/prepman: line 1: readlink: command not found

Since tetex has been ported (see bug #67256), I'm assuming this is no longer an issue. Please reopen if needed.

Closing out bugs that've been resolved for a while now...

Comment 3 Thomas Kjosmoen 2005-04-02 19:16:45 UTC

I get the same error when emerging ghostscript using the ebuilds and patches shown here:

That problem was fixed with the creation of sys-apps/freebsd-stat.
Please try emerging that manually. It is a part of system, but was adding a few months ago.

Comment 5 Thomas Kjosmoen 2005-04-02 22:28:20 UTC

Thank you, freebsd-stat fixed that problem for me! Strange that it didn't appear when I emerged system and world, though. Anyway, it seems to work now.
