Hi, I have mplayer installed and at one stage I installed the mplayer-skins port as well. Then I got sick of dealing with the skins port being broken a lot because the source files are often unfetchable, so I removed the port (I can't remember what method I used to do that now).
Ever since, when I do a portupgrade & mplayer or various ports that it is a dependency of get updated, my ports database gets upset because those ports are marked as having mplayer-skins as a stale dependency. For example, today I have: Stale dependency: mplayerplug-in-3.17 --> mplayer-skins-1.1.2_1 -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force. I generally either delete the dependency or link it to mplayer-gtk-esound, but the dependency comes back next time mplayerplug-in gets updated. I assume I've just used the wrong method for deleting the mplayer-skins port & I need to re-install & delete it the correct way. If I'm right, how should I do that? If not, is there a way I can permanently remove the mplayer-skins port and not have it appear as a dependency of other ports? Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc
