Hey all, I know this SHOULD go to FreeBSD-Questions, but I'm trying to fix up a machine right now, so I don't have normal access to my mail account, and this is the only one I can send to without spending a half hour redoing something, so please allow this once to ask here:
On my test machine, I noticed the usual mail to root letting me know that there were some security problems in a few things I have installed, like Opera and Thunderbird, and so I first did a freebsd-update to get the base system updated to make sure that was done, and I also did portupdate on those packages like this: portupdate -v opera I did it on pidgin and realized it couldn't sign in anymore and thought "Oh man, one of those I'm tired errors" I forgot to update the other parts, so rather than make a huge list of stuff to update, I did this: portupdate or portupgrade -a to get them all. After I did this, I noticed that pkg_add -r no longer lets me add things. It says that it has no access or can't be found. Just to be sure I did pkg_add -r kde and got the same message (I already have KDE, I did it to see if it was just me spelling it wrong) I know I missed something... I just can't for the life of me find out what... I know I'm doing something wrong though. So anyway, after running it with -a, what should I have done? Why would a few things stop working ? Did I do something terribly stupid? The network connection is fine, I checked that, it's just that I can't use pkg_add -r anymore. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
