Ah -- that is true, unless you immediately replace the deleted package with an equivalent alternative as I instructed. Subsequently running 'pkgdb -Fvu' will help you fix up any remaining dependency problems.

Thank you. There is one thing that I am not sure of. I read again an article in FreeBSD Diary http://www.freebsddiary.org/portupgrade.php and it said that if I force it to pkg_delete a certain package that other packages depend on, there might be problems of broken dependencies. I tried the way you teach me first then read the article and then I decided to first uninstall them all and do the portupgrade -N again from the begining. After the whole installation process, pkg_version shows me that every packages installed are consistent to the port tree. ( and it is good to me ) Thank you again for your help.

I just posted earlier another question for portupgrade not being able to upgrade the installed apache-1.3.27_4 to apache-1.3.28 Some applications ( phpMyAdmin, mod_php4, mod_fastcgi ) that depends on apache could not be upgraded either. I tried to portupgrade -rR apache but after a series of compilation, it failed. Here I would like to repost the error messages ( snip some ) and hope that someone can help me. I wonder if I should uninstall them all first and then portupgrade -N ( apache-1.3.28, mod_php4, mod_fastcgi, phpMyAdmin ) or I can just do portupgrade -f to force it update to the newer version ?

not updating XFree86 related stuff while performing portupgrade
Hi, Is there anyway to avoid updating XFree86 related stuff while performing portupgrade ? XFree86 related stuffs are just too big and take too long for my poor PC to compile them all. I wonder if I should : (1) disable fetching the XFree86 related stuffs in the port tree ( to set something in pkgtools.conf to avoid future updating XFree86 related stuffs while cvsupping ) (2) cvsup'd the whole port tree and set some parameters ( and where should I set them ? ) to prevent portupgrade from upgrading XFree86 related stuffs ? Thanks! Michael Lee ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
