>Description:
There is a new version of linux_base-7.1_1 available, so I tried
a portupgrade of it. Everything compiles OK, but the attempt to
de-install the old version runs into the problems:
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/compat/linux/usr/lib'
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib'
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/compat/linux/usr/X11R6'
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/compat/linux/usr'
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/compat/linux/proc'
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/compat/linux/lib'
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/compat/linux/bin'
pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is
incorrectly specified?)
portupgrade then goes on to try to install the new version of
the port, and runs into:
unpacking of archive failed on file /proc: cpio: chown failed - Operation not su
pported
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-7.
*** Error code 1
** Command failed: make
>How-To-Repeat:
I know I've run into this in past attempts to update linux_base,
this time I thought I'd write-up a PR about it. Now let me see
if I can remember how to solve the problem...
>Fix:
To get around the problem, I did the following as root:
# To really de-install it:
/usr/local/sbin/pkg_deinstall -f linux_base
umount linprocfs
rm -Rf /compat/linux/*
# To install the new version:
cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-7
make
make install
/usr/local/sbin/pkgdb -F
At this point I have it correctly installed. I'll now reboot
and see if it's actually working. I expect it will be, but I
will send a follow-up message if it is not.
