Re: installation problem

2010-04-13 Thread Richard DeLaurell
I cannot tell for sure, but the installation seems to be failing at the point where it must install/read from the cdrom; is that correct? If so, it may be that your cdrom drive has a DMA conflict; I believe that Toshiba ATAPI drives have such problems. Provided you have a broadband connection, yo

"unable to completely remove directory" during deinstall

This is undoubtedly a very "newbie" question, but I have seen this type of error a few times recently: pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/directory.name' pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is incorrectly specified?) It occurs at the end of a "d

Re: py24-gobject won't deinstall

2009-04-01 Thread Richard DeLaurell
I reveal my ignorance: why does this work to delete the package # pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/py24-gobject* while 'pkg_delete py24-gobject*' did not? Would the latter have done the trick if issued from the /var/db/pkg directory itself? In any event your solution does seem to have worked.

Sorry if this is more appropriate for the newbie list, but that one seems to be inactive since 2005. I am trying to install py25-gobject from ports (/usr/ports/devel/py-gobject), but make complains that an older version (py24-gobject) is already installed. Deinstalling from that same directory re
