Perl upgrade problem...
Up till now I've kept Perl on my machine at 5.8.9. I now see from UPDATING that upgrading to 5.10 is recommended. However, when I follow the instructions, I get the following error: laptop# portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8.9_3 --- Upgrading 'perl-5.8.9_3' to 'perl-5.10.1' (lang/perl5.10) --- Building '/usr/ports/lang/perl5.10' === Cleaning for perl-5.10.1 === perl-5.10.1 conflicts with installed package(s): perl-5.8.9_3 They install files into the same place. Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.10. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.10. ** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portupgrade20100212-42732-1onozbt-0 env UPGRADE_TOOL=portupgrade UPGRADE_PORT=perl-5.8.9_3 UPGRADE_PORT_VER=5.8.9_3 make ** Fix the problem and try again. ** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed) ! lang/perl5.10 (perl-5.8.9_3) (unknown build error) Any advice on how to fix?

You should update everything that depends on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use perl-after-upgrade script supplied with lang/perl5.10. Please see its manual page for details. If you want switch to lang/perl5.10 from lang/perl5.8 please follow instructions in the entry 20090328 in this file. Then you have misunderstood what it's saying. That only applies to folks already running 5.10 and if you have no need for that then do nothing further. If you really believe you need to run 5.10 then you should follow the complete instructions from the entry. -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

It's just that since those instructions were written there have been some badly thought-out changes in bsd.ports.mk. Any time you try and use portupgrade to replace one port with another now, you'll likely need to tell it to ignore CONFLICTS settings: # portupgrade -m DISABLE_CONFLICTS=yes -o lang/perl5.10 \ -f perl-5.8.9_3 Then reinstall every port that depends on perl -- you can't use perl_after_upgrade for this update: the delta in version numbers is too large.

Cheers, Matthew OK - that seems inconvenient, but I guess it makes sense. I remember some stuff on the list about this earlier now that you mention it. Seems to have made a bit of a hassle of replacing one port with another. Thanks for the advice.
