Details available below: | Correct me if I'm wrong, but these packages have ``missing origins'' because they were installed through cpan, rather then through ports, thusly pkgdb is confused as to where they came from. You could probably suppress these warnings by running `pkgdb -F' and manually selecting the origin for each orphaned port, e.g. give bsdpan-Net-Telnet an origin of /usr/ports/net/p5-Net-Telnet/ . However its not clear that this is the correct thing to do -- doing so may only get you into future trouble. Also, consider that this only works for those cpan modules which have a place in the ports system (many do not). Personally I would ignore (and do) such warnings as they aren't critical. -- yours in haste, | http://darren.shepard.org/pubkey.txt Darren Shepard | 96D1FB7946171A06BA508FD8E16D6F5F31F0A7D2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
