pkg_delete multimedia/mplayer doesn't work
Thanx, Epi, Ch Hiris, Erik Trulsson. I appreciate your answers. It seems to have come back to normal again and mplayer is definitely gone! chers. /jobse ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Thanx for the tip. I just deleted all I could find with rm. I dont know if that was a good move however. "pkgdb -F" now tells me off. I've just been solving one problem about how to set up my graphics and sound modules but am gradually realising there is more to come. jobse ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Try # cd /var/db/pkg # pkg_delete mplayer* If you want to force deletion of the package use the command # pkg_delete -f mplayer* instead of # pkg_delete mplayer* If it's still not deinstalling enter the command # ls -l /var/db/pkg/mplayer* If it doesnt return somthing like '/var/db/pkg/mplayer-gtk-esound' no mplayer package has been registered on your system. hth ch -- Christian Hiris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | OpenPGP KeyID 0x941B6B0B OpenPGP-Key at hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net and http://pgp.mit.edu pgpQfMP4Ij4KH.pgp Description: signature

(I.e. one should do something like pkg_delete 'mplayer*' to delete all all packages whose name start with mplayer.) -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

pkg_delete multimedia/mplayer doesn't work
hello I do like this from /usr/ports. pkg_delete multimedia/mplayer*, right. And then I get that nothing is installed. I test mplayer finds it still working. Should it not have been deleted? When I go into the directory of ports/mplayer and try deinstall it. It says deinstalling for mplayer, but afterwars I can still run it. thanks /jobse ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
