Portupgrade woes ...

2006-03-18 Thread Kiffin Gish
I want to find out which ports need updating by running 'portupgrade
-arR' . However, I am getting the following error message:

Stale dependency: ImageMagick-6.2.5.5_3 -- lcms-1.14_1,1 -- manually
run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force.

As suggested, I run 'pkgdb -F' and after a couple minutes, it seems to
have fixed a number of problems.

Rerunning portupgrade results in the same error as above.

I tried rebuilding the port as follows:

cd /usr/ports
make fetchindex
portsdb -u

And then retrying the above, but this doesn;t help either.

Help! How can I break out of this viscous circle and become a sane
FreeBSD-er again?!

Try running 'portmanager -uly' and see if that doesn't fix your problem.

What a sticky situation.  

First of all, I think you would do best right now to build your own
index.  'portsdb -uU' will take a while, but it will match exactly
what you have installed, which will probably help getting the
dependency comparisons correct.  

Also, run 'pkgdb -F' until it stops reporting problems.

Thanks for the tip, but as luck has it, I just happened to figure out
another (better?) solution.

I simply de-installed ImageMagick using pkg_delete and then rebuilt it
by doing a make install clean.

And that worked, believe it or not!
