Updating a computer, pkg_info reported I only had two packages, cvsup-without-gui-16.1h and perl-5.8.5, both of which were out of date as reported by pkg_version.
I tried to install portmanager, but it was not able to get the needed files from http://portmanager.sunsite.dk. So, I installed portupgrade. Those files came in fine. I then did "portupgrade -a -N -vu -rR", which was successful for me several months ago on another computer. The computer ran for over nearly two hours, with messages scrolling by so fast it was nearly impossible to read, filling up the screen with text. I used script so as to capture the screen messages; the capture file of the screen is 1.2MB in size! Now, pkg_info says I have 10 packages installed; added were ezm3, gettext, gmake, libiconv, libtool, portupgrade,ruby and ruby18. If these all required to make portupgrade or perl work, where is that reference? Help! What did I do? Jay O'Brien Rio Linda, California, USA PS.. I tried to install portmanager again, and this time it got the files immediately and installed fine. It took about a minute, not two hours. It reports that all my ports are up to date. Whew. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
