And if you do 'portupgrade -f gnomevfs2' (forced upgrade) *before* 'portupgrade gstreamer-plugins'? It recently solved similar problems for me, in particular with the perl-related ports.

Annoying ports problem

Re: Annoying ports problem
you're in the wrong way... to update all your ports you must use portupgrade from ports, but if you are sure what u'r doing simply add FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes in your /etc/make.conf but after time you could have some trouble in your PKGDB bye Davide - Original Message - From: Heinrich Rebehn [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 10:45 AM Subject: Annoying ports problem Hi list, I have run into an annoying problem several times when upgrading ports.
