current and fluxbox
Hi, I made a fresh install of current some five days ago and when I tried to install fluxbox I get: # pkg_add fluxbox Can't install imlib2-1.4.0: lib not found png.6.0 Dependencies for imlib2-1.4.0 resolve to: png-1.2.18, bzip2-1.0.4, libid3tag-0.15.1bp0, jpeg-6bp3, libungif-4.1.4p1, tiff-3.8.2p0 Full dependency tree is png-1.2.18,bzip2-1.0.4,libid3tag-0.15.1bp0,jpeg-6bp3,libungif-4.1.4p1,tiff-3.8.2p0 png.6.0: partial match in /usr/local/lib: major=5, minor=2 (bad major) Can't install fluxbox-0.9.15.1p0: can't resolve imlib2-1.4.0 I have tried different ftp mirrors (even the master one) in these days but I get the same problem all the time. I *know* that this is normal if you're following current but I wonder whether it can take so long (i.e. almost a week) to fix the dependencies. Again, feel free to stone me. If my language is offensive it's a matter of not being native in English. The email is meant to be very nice. I need current because of my bleedy-edge hardware (eek!). Cheers, Pau

At the moment, you need to build your own from ports or wait a while. There have been some changed libraries recently and it will take a while for new package snaps to finish.

Yes - as well as actually building the packages, they must be transferred to the ftp servers, which can be up to 4gb or so for some arch, and this takes some time.
