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?
