Dear misc@ readers, bear with me... Noob at work!
So, it seems that upgrading from 5.5-STABLE to -current completely messed-up package dependencies. 2/3 of previously installed packages were not upgradable; I tried to delete them all and re-add, but that of course didn't solve anything. Just as an example: just22@poseidon:[~]> pkga gtk+2 Update candidates: quirks-2.9 -> quirks-2.9 (ok) quirks-2.9 signed on 2014-07-31T22:37:55Z Can't install gtk+2-2.24.24 because of libraries |library atk-1.0.21209.1 not found | /usr/local/lib/libatk-1.0.so.21009.1 (atk-2.10.0p0): bad major |library ffi.1.0 not found | /usr/local/lib/libffi.so.0.0 (libffi-3.0.9p6): bad major |library gio-2.0.4000.0 not found | /usr/local/lib/libgio-2.0.so.3800.0 (glib2-2.38.2p6): bad major |library glib-2.0.4000.0 not found | /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.3800.0 (glib2-2.38.2p6): bad major |library gmodule-2.0.4000.0 not found | /usr/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.3800.0 (glib2-2.38.2p6): bad major |library gobject-2.0.4000.0 not found | /usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.3800.0 (glib2-2.38.2p6): bad major |library gthread-2.0.4000.0 not found | /usr/local/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.3800.0 (glib2-2.38.2p6): bad major |library harfbuzz.4.4 not found | /usr/local/lib/libharfbuzz.so.4.2 (harfbuzz-0.9.25): minor is too small |library png.17.2 not found | /usr/local/lib/libpng.so.17.1 (png-1.6.8): minor is too small Direct dependencies for gtk+2-2.24.24 resolve to gtk-update-icon-cache-2.24.22p1 python-2.7.6p0 gettext-0.18.2p4 cups-libs-1.7.4 hicolor-icon-theme-0.12p2 gdk-pixbuf-2.30.4 atk-2.10.0p0 pango-1.36.2 gnome-icon-theme-symbolic-3.10.1 libiconv-1.14p1 Full dependency tree is glib2-2.38.2p6 libdaemon-0.14p0 pcre-8.33 lzo2-2.06p0 bzip2-1.0.6p0 python-2.7.6p0 gdbm-1.10p0 libcroco-0.6.8p0 tiff-4.0.3p2 librsvg-2.40.1 avahi-0.6.31p13 gettext-0.18.2p4 gnome-icon-theme-3.10.0p2 pango-1.36.2 jpeg-9p0 jasper-1.900.1p2 libxml-2.9.1 png-1.6.8 gtk-update-icon-cache-2.24.22p1 libelf-0.8.13p1 shared-mime-info-1.2 cairo-1.12.16 graphite2-1.2.4 hicolor-icon-theme-0.12p2 gnome-icon-theme-symbolic-3.10.1 dbus-1.8.0v0 cups-libs-1.7.4 harfbuzz-0.9.25 gdk-pixbuf-2.30.4 atk-2.10.0p0 libffi-3.0.9p6 libiconv-1.14p1 So it's complaining that the library atk is not found, but... wait... the atk version in the package tree is 2.12.0, not 1.0.21209.1 I certainly make something terribly wrong... but what? And is there any way to recover the situation? Where should I start the debugging? Please help.
