There is nothing dubious about it. There are simply two versions of "db" available. pkg_add simply does not guess what you want it to do. > Choose one package > 0: <None> > 1: db-3.1.17p6 > 2: db-4.2.52p8 > Your choice: You found out whats discribed in the manpage: In case of ambiguities, for instance: pkg_add screen (matches screen-4.02 and screen-4.02-static), pkg_add will error out, unless it is invoked in interactive mode (option -i). > Any ideas? Answer with 0, 1 or 2? You could also specify the version you want in the pkg_add invocation: pkg_add db-4.2.52p8 /B. -- Sebastian Benoit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
