pkg_add and me
I want to upgrade the version of libiconv that is in this machine (PC running freebsd 5.1). So, I try pkg_add: daffy# pkg_add libiconv-1.9.1_3.tgz pkg_add: package 'libiconv-1.9.1_3' or its older version already installed daffy# Ok then, I force it to be installed (-f option). All I get in the end is *two* entries of libiconv according to pkg_info: daffy# pkg_info XFree86-FontServer-4.3.0_1 XFree86-4 font server XFree86-NestServer-4.3.0_1 XFree86-4 nested X server [...] libiconv-1.8_2 A character set conversion library libiconv-1.9.1_3A character set conversion library Why can't it put the latest version in place of the older one? I even tried to uninstall the old one first: daffy# pkg_delete libiconv-1.8_2 pkg_delete: package 'libiconv-1.8_2' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled: gettext-0.11.5_1 gmake-3.80 lynx-2.8.5d14 daffy# but, as you can see, it does not seem to like that. Someone suggested me to install portupgrade as follows: cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade make install clean rehash portupgrade libiconv should do all you need. :) I did the above, but ended up having two instances of libiconv: daffy# pkg_info [...] imake-1.0 Imake and other utilities from XFree86 imake-4.3.0 Imake and other utilities from XFree86 jpeg-6b_1 IJG's jpeg compression utilities libiconv-1.8_2 A character set conversion library libiconv-1.9.1_3A character set conversion library libtool-1.3.4_4 Generic shared library support script libtool-1.3.5_1 Generic shared library support script lrzsz-0.12.20 Receive/Send files via X/Y/ZMODEM protocol.
