Hi, folks.  I'm working on my first OpenBSD port of the video
surveillance project called ZoneMinder and I've run into a problem.
Coming from the Linux world, I have very little OpenBSD experience so
this is all a bit of a mystery to me and I could use some help.

I've created the Makefile and gotten the makesum, configure, and build
steps to work, but when I run 'doas make install' I get the following
error.  Any ideas?

`/usr/ports/pobj/zoneminder-1.39.17.tar.gz/fake-amd64/.fake_done' is up to date.
