In this case, I suspect (but am too lazy to check) that the last dependency is the one to remove. I got into one of these cases recently, and took the lazy approach of just removing all the dependencies and rebuilding their ports to get them right. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Type in 'bsdpan-libwww-perl-5.79' as the new dependency, since that's what's providing the functionality on your system. Advice? If a CPAN module is available from ports (as p5-Foo-Bar) then it's best to install the ports version. Most of the popular perl modules are available as ports, and they are generally pretty much up to date. Only use BSDPAN when there isn't a port of the module you want, or you absolutely must have the latest version, and the port hasn't been updated yet. BSDPAN is cool, but it isn't quite a seamless drop-in replacement for actual port: you can get the odd hiccough while using it. To replace bsdpan-libwww-perl-5.79 with p5-libwww-5.79 you should be able to do: # portupgrade -o www/p5-libwww -f bsdpan-libwww-perl-5.79 which will automatically update all of the pkgdb dependency links for you.
