Some time ago, maybe a month or two back, it seemed like Apache 2 and PHP5 were getting rebuilt more often than I was used to seeing in the past. I just figured the ports were getting fine tuned on an almost daily basis and just chalked it up to that. But there was a time or two that Apache "updated" to the same version a few days in a row. After a few iterations it stopped. One example just occurred on my dev web server at home yesterday. I did not see pdflib-7.0.3 listed as needing updating when I ran portversion. Yet when I did portupgrade -a for the couple of others which did need updating I also got pdflib-7.0.3 upgraded to pdflib-7.0.4, even though I did not see it listed by portversion. So now if I run portsdb -uF && pkgdb -u && portversion it will indicate an ">" next to pdflib. Since it has caused no problem of any kind I don't worry about it. Usually when an oddity like this surfaces and I repeat my csup/portsdb/pkgdb and portversion run a day, or two, or three, later it just takes care of itself. Just an oddity which doesn't seem to be harmful. I just figure it's the ports system existing in a fluid state and until or unless something breaks I'm not concerned. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: Portupgrade not handling dependencies
Hi, There are few steps I may suggest to you: 1. Update CVS, i.e. use cvsup -L 2 -g 2. cd /usr/ports && make fetchindex 3. portsdb -fr && pkgdb -Ffv 4. portupdate -v -i -a -y If the same problem still exists there is a not so clean step to make: 1. cd multimedia/ffmpeg 2. FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes make install clean 3. portsdb -fr && pkgdb -Ffv 4. portupdate -v -i -a -y Repeat the above for every mismatched port. I know, it is not clean, but once you fix all necessary ports - there will be no problems in the future :) Regards, Ivailo Tanusheff Deputy Head of IT Department ProCredit Bank (Bulgaria) AD Eric Sheesley Sent by: owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org 08.07.2009 04:09 To "b. f." , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org cc Subject Re: Portupgrade not handling dependencies Actually, the bsdpan package is not the issue here.

Re: Portupgrade not handling dependencies
> But I have seen portupgrade something and then a subsequent run >shows this port as being 'newer' than the version it's supposed to be. I've portsdb -Fu runs `make fetchindex`, grabbing the INDEX* file from whatever server you've told it to go to, and then rebuilds/updates the portsdb from that. So it's possible that with your csup you've obtained a port that is newer than the one recorded in the INDEX* file, when it was built on the remote server with an older ports tree some time ago. This is usually harmless. If it causes problems, and you can't wait for a fresh INDEX* file to be built remotely, or you have a modified ports tree that departs from the usual one so much that it makes sense to have your own INDEX*, then you can run "make index" in /usr/ports, or wherever your PORTSDIR is, and then portsdb -u. This is usually a lengthy process, unless you've stripped out large parts of your ports tree. >also noticed a few times it seemed like it was upgrading the same version(s) >over again.

Then I just do portupgrade -a and generally most of the time it does OK. I have noticed that it seems to be smoother with less hiccups when run more often so as to only need to update a few at a time rather than waiting until a whole lot of stuff needs updating. The reason I do it in the sequence I do is I believe this way the package database and the INDEX stay in sync. I have noticed some odd behaviors in the last 3 months, or so. So far no catastrophe. But I have seen portupgrade something and then a subsequent run shows this port as being 'newer' than the version it's supposed to be. I've also noticed a few times it seemed like it was upgrading the same version(s) over again. I just chalked this up to the ports system being in a state of flux and it hasn't actually led to any problems so I've just ignored it. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

So this happens with ports other than libtheora, ports that you have no problem installing manually, with make deinstall && make clean install && make clean? And there is never any descriptive message given? "Unknown Build Error" or "Unknown Install Error" or the like? If so, you could try forcibly rebuilding portupgrade and it's dependencies, and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't, and you think that your ports tree and INDEX file are okay, there may be a problem with your package database -- /var/db/pkg by default. In which case you may have to clean everything out and rebuild, if you can't find the problem. There have been other problems reported with portupgrade, but it works fine for me, so I think the issue is peculiar to your system. b. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Portupgrade not handling dependencies
I've been running Freebsd for several years on one of my primary public facing servers. Currently the server is running Freebsd 7.2. Up until about 2 weeks ago portupgrade always seemed to upgrade ports in the correct order so that any dependencies were built first, allowing all ports to be upgraded properly in one run. For the past 2 weeks though I have to run portupgrade 2-3 times every time I have more than one update because at least 1 port fails due to a dependency(which is seemingly upgraded after it tries to upgrade the other port). What the heck is going on and how do I fix it?
