Hi There,
Strange one here for me.
I've just cvsup'd my ports tree and then ran pkg_version -v and got this
for one of my installed ports:
pdksh-5.2.14 > succeeds port (port has 5.2.14.p2)
Never seen that before! Could someone who know more about this give an
explanation, please? Man pkg_version says this about that string result:
> The installed version of the package is newer than the current
version.This situation can arise with an out-of-date index file, or
when testing new ports.
Taking both explanations for this case:
1] I always run portsdb -Uu after cvsup'ing the ports tree, I wouldn't
have thought that my Index file was out-of-date.
2] Not sure about the "testing nrew ports" either, I'm not (oknowingly)
actively testing new ports.
Suggestions?
Stacey
