Hey fellow FreeBSD users.
I've just returned from a week off, and must have left my brain in
Orlando, because I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this
problem.
Upon my return, I upgraded my ports tree, and noticed that portaudit
had several new packages listed with security issues. Including
jdk1.5 and portupgrade.
Well, as usual, I unset JAVA_HOME and ran the portupgrade on jdk and
several other packages listed. As always, I used the -RN flags to
make sure any dependencies were upgraded as well. I saved the
majority of packages to upgrade a little at a time.
They all went off without a hitch, except for the jdk15 port. The
portupgrade port upgraded first, but I don't imagine the new tool is
the one used in the subsequent upgrades. Normally, I upgrade
portupgrade first on its own, but this time I didn't.
Now, I have several stale dependencies for the jdk15 port. The jdk
itself is there, but it's not registered. I tried to force the
upgrade (portupgrade -fN) but it fails saying that
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java is already registered - but not the
package. I then tried pkg_info -W /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java, but
it comes back with no output. pkg_which simply returns a '?'.
pkgdb -u doesn't seem to do anything.
So I've somehow bonked something quite thoroughly. Any suggestions on
how best to fix this - preferably without deleting all or most of the
packages I have installed?
It turns out this wasn't a problem in the pkgdb at all. There was
some kind of problem unregistering the java vm during the uninstall of
the old jdk15 package. I finally realized that the output from the
install was referring to a java vm registration, not a package
registration:
registervm: error: JavaVM /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java is already registered
When I realized this, I ran
# unregistervm /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java
then `make install` from /usr/ports/java/jdk15/ and everything worked.
