I didn't get a chance to test this before it was committed, but I'm currently running into this: % pwd /usr/local/tinderbox/portstrees/FreeBSD/ports/www/apache22 % sudo make config dialog4ports isn't installed, do you want to install it now? [Y/n] n env: /usr/local/bin/dialog4ports: No such file or directory ===> Options unchanged % And I'm prompted every time. Is this how it's supposed to work?
