I'm having an issue after upgrading my binary packages. Since I have been rather
busy with other issues (e.g. work ;-) ), it has been a while since
I had upgraded my system. However, with the Thanksgiving holidays upon us
I decided to bring everything up to spec.
I first started by upgrading my binary packages using the following commands:
# pkg update
# pkg upgrade
This proceeded to take it's usual 3-4 hours (mostly due to timeouts while
downloading package updates). Eventually, it finished except for updating
CUPS. There I got a conflict:
pkg: cups-2.2.1 conflicts with cups-base-2.0.3_3 (installs files into the same
place). Problematic file: /usr/local/bin/cancel
I then did a 'pkg autoremove' which completed with no errors.
But the conflict still exists. Is there a way to bypass this as it seems to
prevent the 'pkg upgrade' from completing. Should I remove CUPS? Then re-
install it?
Unfortunately, this has caused some serious havoc as I have lost my GUI when
I tried to reboot. I suspect it has to do with the failed upgrade.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Patrick
