Subject: Re: Portupgrade out of swap - corrupt pkg info...
On Tue, 6 Feb 2007, Harrison Peter CSA BIRKENHEAD wrote:
I updated the ports on my laptop last night ran:
portsnap fetch update
followed by:
portupgrade -arR
This ran normally until it hit vim-gtk2. It built fine but whilst it was
registering the installation became unresponsive.
Hard rebooted, and found that in /var/log/messages it referred to being out
of swap (I don't have the exact message to hand).
pkg_info did not show vim as installed, so when portupgrade finished a cd'd
to /usr/ports/editors/vim and ran make install clean. This installed without
error.
If you ran make install clean then it should have installed the pkg info.
However, now when I run pkg_info it reports that the pkg info for vim-gtk2
is corrupt.
Hmmm...
Could anyone help with 2 questions:
~ How do I fix the package database entry for vim?
pkg_install should do the trick, but you already cleaned out the package build
directory ><. make install for vim-gtk2 should do the trick now.
~ What might have caused my machine to run out of swap? It was running X and
twm with 1 xterm open. For hardware it has 256MB RAM and a 470MB swap
partition. I've not had this problem before.
Ouch.. you should actually have more swap than that (2*(Physical RAM amount) =
512MB swap would be a better idea in the future).
As for running out of swap, what are your make options for ruby? Having the
ruby doc (or whatever it was) option selected ate up a lot of memory on
machines a few months back; having this option deselected and rebuilding ruby
fixes the memory bloat.
make config in the lang/ruby* ports directory will yield the desired result
here.
