linux-pango update fails

[Chad Perrin]

I'm having an issue with a linux-pango update on a FreeBSD 7.2 system:

---> Upgrading 'linux-pango-1.10.2_3' to 'linux-pango-1.10.2_4'
(x11-toolkits/linux-pango)
---> Building '/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/linux-pango'
===> Cleaning for linux-pango-1.10.2_4
** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa
/tmp/portupgrade20100411-69066-1498jpj-0 env UPGRADE_TOOL=portupgrade
UPGRADE_PORT=linux-pango-1.10.2_3 UPGRADE_PORT_VER=1.10.2_3 make
** Fix the problem and try again.
** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed)
! x11-toolkits/linux-pango (linux-pango-1.10.2_3)
(unknown build error)

A Google search for information from the above hasn't proven fruitful.
Any ideas how I could narrow down the exact problem and work out a
solution would be appreciated.

unexpectedly barfing.

Also, have you tried manually removing the work/ directory
or running "make clean" from the port directory?

Actually, it turns out it was failing on the "deciding to install" stage.
I had thought the update in linux-pango version was a fix for the
longstanding security issue with 1.10.2_3, and I'd thus have a security
patched version, but it turns out that 1.10.2_4 has security issues as
well and that's why it didn't want to install.

I'm pretty severely disappointed in the state of linux-pango security on
FreeBSD right about now.
