I have encountered this problem twice now and strongly believe that it is related to doing a pkg-get upgrade operation. The problem is that I don't discover the actual problem until long after the upgrade procedure which I didn't pay close attention to at the time.
The problem is that I have had some programs - notably xpdf, uninstalled and then not reinstalled after the upgrade. I don't notice this until I try to use xpdf. When I do discover this, I manually install xpdf again, and I get the following messages: Analysing special files... Please see /opt/csw/share/doc/xpdf/license for license information. WARNING: /opt/csw/bin/pdffonts <no longer a linked file> WARNING: /opt/csw/bin/pdfimages <no longer a linked file> WARNING: /opt/csw/bin/pdfinfo <no longer a linked file> WARNING: /opt/csw/bin/pdftoppm <no longer a linked file> WARNING: /opt/csw/bin/pdftops <no longer a linked file> WARNING: /opt/csw/bin/pdftotext <no longer a linked file> Installation of <CSWxpdf> was successful. I remember seeing this message the last time I had to manually reinstalled xpdf. Are these messages normal and expected, or do they indicate a conflict with some other package? When I do a pkgchk -l CSWxpdf, it reports that files like pdffonts, pdfimages, pdfinfo, pdftoppm, pdftops, and pdftotext are referenced by packages CSWpoppler and CSWxpdf. I'm gonna' take a guess here and say that there may be a conflict between these two packages and that may somehow be responsible for CSWxpdf getting trashed - possibly when CSWpoppler is upgraded? Any thoughts or comments? Regards, -- Jeff C.
