Hi,
I am using PCBSD 9.2 p8, and I'm having a problem with "pkg upgrade".
I am using texlive instead of tetex, and when I try to upgrade my
packages, pkg insists on
re-installing the main two tetex packages, which I've removed, since I
have switched to texlive.
Of course, if I let the upgrade proceed, it fails because of the
conflict between tetex and texlive.
I can remove texlive, do the upgrade, re-remove tetex, and re-re-install
texlive. Texlive is a large
package, so this is painful. And it will happen again at the next upgrade.
Is there any way around this problem? Some feature of pkg that I don't
know about?
Or is this whole thing a tetex/texlive-specific issue which will be
resolved eventually?
(I am posting here in the belief that this is not a PCBSD-specific issue.)
