Hey All,
By now I have posted alot of questions and you are probably getting
tired of seeing my name in your inbox... But I have yet another for
you. I am currently running FreeBSD 5.1-Current, I have SquirrelMail
1.4.2 and Courier Imap installed. I installed a plugin for
SquirrelMail that required Perl 5.8 or above. Look to find out I have
5.6.1 installed. I ran CVSup -x -L 2 sup-ports and then a portupgrade
-Rra and wala, still Perl 5.6.1. So I de-installed 5.6.1 and make
install on perl 5.8.1, ran the pkgdb -Fa and all these errors poped
up. Some of the app's were dependent on Perl 5.6.1, so I had it point
to the Perl 5.8.1 and all is well, and ran a use.perl port command.
For what ever reason I had to re-install SpamAssassin, and the
razor-agents ports too.
Now if i run pkgdb -F I get what you see below:
---> Checking the package registry database
Missing origin: bsdpan-CPAN-1.7.6
-> Ignored. (the package is held; specify -f to force)
Missing origin: bsdpan-Data-Dumper-2.121
-> Ignored. (the package is held; specify -f to force)
Missing origin: bsdpan-ReadLine-Perl-1.0203
-> Ignored. (the package is held; specify -f to force)
Missing origin: bsdpan-TermReadKey-2.21
-> Ignored. (the package is held; specify -f to force)
Missing origin: bsdpan-Text-Aspell-0.04
-> Ignored. (the package is held; specify -f to force)
obviously I have updated the perl incorrectly.
1) what would of been the correct way to update the perl from version
5.6.1 to 5.8.1 without causing package db problems?
2) how do i fix the above Missing origin errors?
