Just an observation: We have gettext and gettext-old, both of which could be installed on the same system at the same time. I think this goes against what portupgrade is expecting, because in many cases a component named xyzzy-old (or -devel) would not be installed if component xyzzy is already installed. In any case, if you have gettext installed, and you do not have gettext-old installed, then there seems to be no way to tell portupgrade to install gettext-old. I am too tired to spend time trying a lot of things, though, so eventually I just cd'ed into /usr/ports/devel/gettext-old and did the make ; make install by hand. Once both ports were installed, then portupgrade seemed to handle the both of them OK. Although it was a bit odd that I did a 'portupgrade -f gettext', and it built both ports without asking me for which one I wanted to rebuild. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
