I’ve fixed that.

You should say yes.

It seems to keep getting installed. It shouldn’t be now that I’ve got things ironed out.

It isn’t required to build ports. Well, it was for a couple of days due to a bug, but I’ve fixed that bug.

Remove it. It should ask you at most one more time.

Yea. I understand. The WITHOUT_NIS was a different, and subtle, bug that I fixed as well.

My advise: update to the tip of head, buildworld, install world, delete-old (making sure you say ‘yes’) and then try virtualbox-ose build again. It should just work. If it doesn’t then send in a bug report since I missed something when I fixed nvidia and cuse builds.

Thanks for the report. I hope I can get this all ironed out for you. I think I have already, but the build system is rather fragile, I’m coming to discover, and used in several non-obvious use cases that seem obvious after the bug report comes in… Sorry these slipped through the cracks in my testing...
