Hello. I'm running OpenBSD current, last timed I updated the sources and compiled was today. I'm having this weird problem with pkg_add and pkg_delete. (Been having it for 2-3 weeks now.)
This is similar, if not identical to the one described at http://old.nabble.com/pkg_delete-td27377347.html I noticed it while doing a pkg_add -i -u -v which stuck in the loop: # pkg_add -i -u -v -v openldap-client Update candidates: quirks-1.13 -> quirks-1.13 parsing quirks-1.13 No change in quirks-1.13 (1 to go) Update candidates: openldap-client-2.3.43p1 -> openldap-client-2.3.43p1 (1 to go) parsing openldap-client-2.3.43p1 Direct dependencies for openldap-client-2.3.43p1->openldap-client-2.3.43p1 resolve to: cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-ldap (todo: cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-ldap->) Update candidates: cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-ldap -> cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-ldap (2 to go) parsing cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-ldap Direct dependencies for cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-ldap->cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-ldap resolve to: openldap-client-2.3.43p1 (todo: openldap-client-2.3.43p1->openldap-client-2.3.43p1) Direct dependencies for openldap-client-2.3.43p1->openldap-client-2.3.43p1 resolve to: cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-ldap (todo: cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-ldap->cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-ldap) Direct dependencies for cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-ldap->cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-ldap resolve to: openldap-client-2.3.43p1 (todo: openldap-client-2.3.43p1->openldap-client-2.3.43p1) Direct dependencies for openldap-client-2.3.43p1->openldap-client-2.3.43p1 resolve to: cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-ldap (todo: cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-ldap->cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-ldap) (these two lines are repeated until I ^C) Trying to pkg_delete openldap-client cyrus-sasl succeeded according to the program (returned 0 to the shell), but the packages are still installed. This seems like a bug to me, so I thought I should report it. Let me know if I can provide you with any more info. Oh, the versions of the two files at my repository are: # $OpenBSD: pkg_add,v 1.478 2010/05/10 09:17:54 espie Exp $ # $OpenBSD: pkg_delete,v 1.134 2010/05/10 09:17:55 espie Exp $ Cheers and thanks for everything. -- Thanos Tsouanas http://mpla.math.uoa.gr/~thanos/ [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which had a name of dmesg.boot]
