X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2003 04:26:22 -0000 Hi again list, Is there some way to "reset" what my FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE O.S. "knows" about what is currently installed? I ask because a while back, I accidentally deleted part of /usr/local/lib/ (in unlinking a directory). Now, whenever I install a port or run `pkg_add -rf` something is always wrong and indicated by an error message. Help! Thanks CC: me please... PS - Is it as easy as just `rm -rf /var/db/pkg/` or just one directory? -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder, Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA http://Www.Video2Video.Com
