Hi,
I've got a beasty box that has served its purpose for many years. Some files
dates back to over 6 years ago when this old trusty and faithfull was pulled
into service.
Recently however, I've started to pick up rather strange problems with the
system. Libraries installed from ports, startup
Quoting Subhro [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Why do you want to NOT reinstall the OS?
Loads of data, loads of accounts / passwords, nothing wrong with the 'base' part
of the OS... There's no need to really.
My problems are generated from to many ports / inconsistencies in the ports, and
so forth. So
You can do a pkg_delete -a.
This will delete all the packages.
After that pkgdb -fF
This will rebuild the package database. However I dont think this is necessary.
then reinstall everything as required.
Thanks and Best Regards
Subhro
