I'm sorry Joao, I usually try to give my support, but you didn't
describe any real issue here, unless we consider your "FreeBSD just
burned my hair"-like moan like a bug report. If you describe them in
details (i.e., telling *how* exactly stuff is horribly failing) then
I'll be happy to help you, especially if it turns into a chance to
improve KDE SC upgrade procedure.
Nonetheless, so far you're the only one reporting such a
catastrophic
failure.
I hope we can turn this flamish thread into an useful one, and you
can
get your KDE desktop working.
ok, but first I like to say that my message was not a flame neither
any
personal attack, simply it expressed my state of mind because of my
desktop is not working
then lets go in parts
main issue is, portupgrade -a[fOkrR] does not work and fails in ANY
case
this might not be a kde issue because most kde ports do compile fine,
but fail to install or configure correctly because of other issues
the reason I copied the maintainers of portmaster and portupgrade,
but
seems their position is that it has nothing to do with them
what then brings us back to kde, my question, the install/upgrade
script, is it kde, ports or who looks at this?
for example, at this moment, since the last gstreamer update the
gstreamer-plugins do not compile anymore, I got some help from the
maintainer but now it fails somewhere else, this cause failures in
some other ports
to have a base, I am running 9-STABLE i386 on my machines
look into the attached compiler output and follow what happens
it is not a singular example, it is a standard problem which happens
ALWAYS since ever, whatsoever, small ports with a couple of
dependencies are easily solved, in kde4, as a dependency-monster it
has
fatal consequences
resuming
upgrading a port
process checks dependencies for configuring and compiling
if complete it starts compiling
after successful compiling it goes to install and checks AGAIN for
install dependencies
if requirements not fulfilled it tries to install them, even if it IS
already installed
=> problem now is, the script does not detect if a new install or an
upgrade is necessary
then, it still compiles the "missing" port and tries to install but
fails since it is already installed
=> new problem now is, the original supposed port for upgrade was
ALREADY uninstalled, but the process bailes out WITHOUT reinstalling
the original port
now the system is incomplete
the upgrade process follows its way, unless it was only ONE port to
upgrade
means, the problem stays hidden or at least not seen at first sight
and
everything starts to fail, with a monster port as kde, you get lost
only way out is, compiling any such port one-by-one, resolving the
failing parts-one by-one as well
that is extremely annoying and irritating
this was ONE problem described as well as I could, so thanks for
reading this and let me hear your comments

Well, the one example you include is a busted port:
===> libkonq-4.8.4 is already installed
You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of x11/libkonq
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
You simply need to deinstall and reinstall that one as it is not
installed fully/correctly.
portmaster -f libkonq
That doesn't seem that big of a deal and should cover a portion of your
issues... what's next?
Rusty
