SV: Re: Weird result of portupgrade -aRr concerning pkgconfig or is it pkg-config?
Thank you for editing my post. Strange that freebsd does not provide any info on how to deal with these problems. I think one is supposed to invoke pkgdb -F when portupgrades fail like this. The question then is how to respond. The most recent page I could find about that is this: http://www.engr.colostate.edu/~reinholz/freebsd/pkgdb_F.html I haven't tried it yet but I suspect I will get some of those same questions when I do. Especieally about stale origin to pkgconfig. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Would: portupgrade -f -o pkgconfig pkg-config be the "correct" way to fix such a problem?

Between the two you probably need to install the new version. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I recently said hello to a newly installed FreeBSD 6.1 myself. > Barely touched ports so one would expect it to work, That sounds like a reasonable expectation for FreeBSD. I'm new to FreeBSD myself. For the most part I've found it quite stable. I've been a Linux user for years(since the 1.x kernel days) and after only a few days of tinkering with FreeBSD on a test box I'm just about ready to switch my main box over to FreeBSD. > yet it fails brutally for me as a new user when I do portupgrade -arR > just to upgrade a few packages. I experienced a similar failure to the one you describe, although I didn't find it all that brutal. After a few tries I managed to get past it. > I have no clue why and what to do so I am hoping someone here knows. I don't really have a clue as to why myself but I'll tell you what worked for me. There may be a better solution to this and if so hopefully someone with more knowledge than I will point it out. To improve your chances of getting the answers you need you might want to consider paying attention to the guidelines posted occasionally, especially the part about including line breaks. Such a post can be found at: http://Lists.FreeBSD.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-July/126199.html Reformatting your post so I could reply to it took a bit of time. Since I had a similar problem I took the time to reformat your message and reply to it with the hope that it will encourage someone who might not otherwise have repiled to provide more information and a better solution to the problem. > Can't see what I have done wrong.

I use portsnap myself and just installed portupgrade and portaudit yesterday. I'm still learning all the proper steps necessary to keep my system up to date. > Checking if devel/pkg-config already installed ===> pkg-config-0.20_2 > is already installed > You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make > reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. I tried a 'make deinstall' then 'make reinstall' as the error message suggested. It didn't help. Then, I tried a 'make deinstall' followed by a 'portupgrade -aRr' which appeared to get around the problem. Portupgrade installed the version of pkg-config it really wanted and upgraded everything successfully.
