Hi, I've got a question about the portupgrade tools. My laptop's (and desktop for that matter) /var/db/pkg database was a complete mess. Rather than use pkgdb -F to straighten it out, I nuked all my ports and reinstalled them over this last weekend (great way to upgrade "cleanly" too :). However, when I tried to use portupgrade after that to upgrade a port or two it yelled at me about a dependency between many ports and "imake-4.1.0". The first one it yelled about was the x11/wrapper port. Stale dependency between wrapper-1.0_1 -> imake-4.1.0 x11/wrapper certainly doesn't depend on imake--at least not that I can tell by looking at its Makefile. I simply deleted the dependency with 'pkgdb -F' but it doesn't explain how it got there. There were other ports such as Mesa and a few others (can't recall from memory now) to which this ghost dependency to imake happened. Is this a bogon from the ports install process or could portupgrade be reporting erroneous dependencies? Thanks, -Jr ps: please cc: as I'm not subscribed directly to -ports, THX. pps: portupgrade and its related tools ROCK!! Great piece of s/w! -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, CDS - Senior CAD Engineer | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
