Cannot install any port
Please help, when I try to install any port, everything is looking OK, but after while I got message like this: === Checking if net/apinger already installed *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/net/apinger. === Checking if databases/mysql40-client already installed *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mysql40-client.

Re: Cannot install any port
Dear Tom, Unfortunately you have found a problem which those in the know prefer to ignore. The ports system has been broken with the last upgrade, and many of us which have found the same problem could not find a solution. It has been suggested by some that you could copy pkg_info from some newer version. Other person suggested re-building pkg_install (in fact, it was incorrectly suggested to build pkg_info), after cvsuping src. I tried both, with no luck. I will go the hard way, re-installing the system, with a new version. As a side note, I mentioned that I have been using FreeBSD for a decade (of course a rough estimate), and have been corrected by very knowledgeble (sp?) people in opposite directions. One said that FreeBSD was not yet ten years old, other said it was ten years three months. But still no help with a solution.

Re: Cannot install any port
In the last episode (Jul 26), Leonardo Lazarte said: Unfortunately you have found a problem which those in the know prefer to ignore. The ports system has been broken with the last upgrade, and many of us which have found the same problem could not find a solution. Hm? I've seen lots of responses explaining the problem and multiple solutions (upgrade system to 4.7 or later, upgrade pkg_* tools). You are running an old version of FreeBSD which the ports tree no longer supports (although someone mentioned they were looking at a workaround, I think). It has been suggested by some that you could copy pkg_info from some newer version. Other person suggested re-building pkg_install (in fact, it was incorrectly suggested to build pkg_info), after cvsuping src. Building and installing in /usr/src/pkg_install installs pkg_add, pkg_check, pkg_create, pkg_delete, pkg_info, pkg_sign, and pkg_version. I tried both, with no luck. You sure? Are you failing with this error: === Checking if portd/portname already installed *** Error code 1 This is almost certainly caused by an old pkg_info command that does not understand -O. To disprove me: cd /usr/ports/devel/portlint ktrace -di make install kdump | tail -60 and let us see those 60 lines, plus the output of pkg_info -O and ident /usr/sbin/pkg_info | grep info -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My apologies, I shouldn't generalize. Some people replied in the following lines your system is old, you are lucky it is working, or the solution is so simple it does not deserve to be mentioned.

FreeBSD 4.7 and greater do not have this problem. Yes, that seems to be the case. And of couse there are many people using old versions.
