pkg_delete yields 'no such package'
I installed FreeBSD for investigation purpose and reserve small hard disk space for it. Partition comes to nearly full and I decide to delete some 'doc' packages. Either I use 'pkg_delete xorg-docs' or 'pkg_delete xorg-docs-1.4.1', pkg_delete yields the error of 'no such package'. Checking via 'pkg_info' and 'pkg_version' confirms the packages xorg-docs-1.4.1 installed. I think I did not use the wrong command. Can anyone help me on this issue? I need to free some space to continue my investigation. -- Regards, Toan H.

The package/ports system will not delete files unless it knows they came from a package/port that is being deleted; it will not delete possible user-made files, which is a Good Thing! Apparently some file(s) were left in the directory in question. Have a look at what they are. If they are part of VirtualBox, then the packing list for virtualbox should be updated to include them, so that they will be deleted when virtualbox is removed.

That is a warning that the packing list included a directory delete request, but there were still files in it. It could be a bug in the plist (not specifying all the files the package installed), or it could be a shared directory that another package installed other files into. Regardless, it's just a warning and the package was deleted. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

FBSD 7.1-STABLE: pkg_delete: segmentation fault
Hello Everybody, Since several days ago I get a segmentation fault on a FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE/AMD64 box when invoking 'pkg_delete' on installed packages to delete them. This box has been most recently 'built-world' and I did a 'make delete-files' and sibblings as a precaution - but I still get this error. I suspect a DB47 issue (if this is possoble, but I don't know). How can the database be repaired without loosing informations about the installed packages and is this shown degmentation-fault issue a well known issue?

pkg_delete core dumping on 7.1
hey list, I've recently upgraded my machine (FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE) and pkg_delete is segfaulting and dumping it's core when trying to deinstall packages. What makes it more bizzare is that it had worked right after the upgrade and now it doesn't. I know there's probably more information I could give to help but I'm enough of a novice to not know what that is.

That's definetely the cause of the crash. The patch below should guard against
pkg_delete crashing.
How this line got created in the first place, is very weird.
I would run:
grep -E '^@(pkgdep|name)[[:space:]]*$' /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS
Which would show all dependency lines and name directives that are empty.
Maybe there's a common factor. For the moment my money is on linux-nvu as
that would be the dependency that belongs at the empty spot:

I guess this is valid when you don't want to clean a port.

What does "make deinstall" do > that pkg_delete does not do? What does pkg_delete do that "make deinstall" > does not do? After spending some time with /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk and the man page for pkg_delete, I think I'm just as confused as you are. As you mention, the man page for ports seems to imply that pkg_delete is a bad thing and that you should use 'make deinstall'. My analysis of 'make deinstall' in bsd.port.mk concludes that the deinstall target calls 'pkg_delete -f' on the package names supplied by pkg_info. I'm not entirely sure what implications this has for the installation cookies. If you were to only use pkg_delete, some things might go wrong. For example in the Technical Details section, it mentions the 'require' and the 'deinstall' scripts that can fail during a pkg_delete. A 'pkg_delete -f' would force the issue (and that's what 'make deinstall' does). Getting back to the 'make reinstall' target, it appears that all it does is 'rm -f' the installation and package cookies before running install. My conclusion is confusion. I'm not sure what the man page author meant by Use this to restore a port after using pkg_delete(1) when you should have used deinstall.

The question was about the difference between "make deinstall" and pkg_delete. pkg_deinstall (installed by the portupgrade port) is simply a ruby wrapper for pkg_delete that provides globbing and recursion. There is no particular correpondence between pkg_deinstall and "make deinstall" except for the similar name. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There is a lot of misinformation about this that is repeated ad-nauseum. Most ports use the standard deinstall target which calls pkg_delete; there is only one port in the whole tree that defines it own deinstall target, and that one installs its own versions of the pkg_* utilities. The port system uses a series of cookie files to keep track of what has been done. For example if you type "make && make" the port will only build once, because the first make sets the "build cookie". There is also an Install cookie which leads to a problem when you go through the sequence make install pkg_delete make install because pkg_delete doesn't know about the port cookies. The deinstall and reinstall targets both delete the cookie and so using one or the other avoids the problem. In practice this is virtually a non-issue since most people, and all build tools, will do a make clean at some point in the sequence. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

difference between deinstall and pkg_delete?
Greetings, I see in the man page for ports the following: reinstallUse this to restore a port after using pkg_delete(1) when you should have used deinstall. So I'm wondering what is the difference between pkg_delete and using "make deinstall" from within the ports directory? What does "make deinstall" do that pkg_delete does not do? What does pkg_delete do that "make deinstall" does not do?

Pkg_delete handles wildcards just fine. Or, is it just the partial port string, case sensitive, that it can handle?

Pkg_delete can delete ports given as a list just like it can delete single port; it, however, does not recurse like pkg_deinstall. I have not used pkg_deinstall to recursively ports much; I like pkg_delete better, more so in case of inconsistent state of installed dependencies. - Parv -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

pkg_deinstall or pkg_delete
Hi, What's the difference between pkg_deinstall and pkg_delete ? If I use portinstall to install a port, which should I use to uninstall it ?

You can do this in fewer steps than learning the path to the port and cd'ing in. Once you have used either method, I don't think you can tell how you did it :).

One is "make deinstall" will remove the port w/o care to any dependencies. Pkg_delete will remove a dependency-port only if you specify via the -f (force) flag. Both will notify you about any dependencies in any case. Personally, i use "make deinstall" only when the installed port version is same as in /usr/ports// AND happened to be in that directory. Otherwise, i just use pkg_de(install|delete). - Parv -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Ports and pkgs are different sides of the same coin. > Does pkg_delete do the same thing as the make deinstall command? Almost exactly the same. The difference is that pkg_delete(1) will delete packages by matching the name and version number stored in /var/db/pkg, whereas make deinstall deletes the all packages installed from a particular ports directory where the same $PREFIX setting was used to install as is currently in force. Unless you're in the habit of installing multiple copies of ports/pkgs using different $PREFIX settings, that generally comes out to be the same thing.

pkg_delete
Hi, all. FreeBSD 4.2. Can't delete rrdtool-1.0.45 after installation. Get: "pkg_delete: rrdtool-1.0.45 doesn't have a prefix". What should I do? That is a question. Thanks, Olga __ Do you Yahoo!?

You didn't mention what version you're running, so I'll just guess it's 4.x. If it's a recent 4.x, you *might* be able to get rid of perl and be okay, but it's certainly not supported. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
