Not really no, and I wouldn't recommned running theresulting script directly. Putting the new glib over the old one won't break anything. You can pkg_delete -f glib.... and them put a new one back in , but that could be risky if the libraries have changed significantly. > On Wed, 18 Apr 2001, Nate Puri wrote: > > > > > pkg_version -c > update_ports.sh > > > > Then go in update_ports.sh and you will see a list up > > ports that need to be updated (and their dependencies > > will be in there too).
