Re: handling stale dependencies
Hello, Something went wrong earlier on, and portupgrade screwed up. It tried to upgrade png, got as far as uninstalling it, failed to install it and then failed to restore the backup and for some reason also thinks that rrdtool does not depend on graphics/png, while it does, unconditionally. Best thing to do when you see pkgdb mentioning stale dependencies is hit ctrl-c hard, fast and often. Then scroll up to see what it did wrong and try to figure out how to correct it's mess. What is at present the png version installed on your system and could you show the output of: grep 'DEPORIGIN: graphics/png' /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS It reveals nothing but so far so good. Everything seems to work so I am not going to worry about it. I just don't remember. I may have installed then uninstalled png at some point but no idea if I did. I have actually started to run a journal of everything being done to the server - it should help in future! -- Zbigniew Szalbot www.lc-words.com smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Today I wanted to upgrade phpMyAdmin and I got a number of questions about stale dependencies. I eventually deleted all of them, but does this mean I need to upgrade ports which used this dependency (mailgraph-1.14_1, netpbm-10.26.52, p5-FuzzyOcr-devel-3.4.2_1, php5-gd-5.2.5_1, and rrdtool-1.2.26)? I am not sure what your asking... if your asking do you need png for phpMyAdmin the short answer is no... the long answer is yes because if you want to maintain the ports it depends on then they need png. Portupgrade uses an external DB (not the same one as pkg_* uses) and this is the one that pkgdb maintains. Which means that until you run pkgdb portupgrade will use the old depends... now if you not using portupgrade this is not an issue but since you are you need to make sure the two are in sync. That being said once you answered yes/all to Delete this? then any mention of the depend in pkgdb will be removed and if you had already done a make deinstall or pkg_delete then your fine all the way around (and by definition you already have because you will not get that question unless the port/package doesn't exist in the /var/db/pkg hierachy) | | Stale dependency: mailgraph-1.14_1 - png-1.2.27 (graphics/png): | Delete this?
