What is the correct way to solve the dependency problem in this case? cvsup 2003.11.24, 11:00PM EDT (no refuse); make index; portsdb -u portversion -R gnome2 shows a pesky dependency to metacity-setup. There is no folder for the port, no package installed, portupgrade fails. I tried the the process twice. Variations: I installed the package (pkg_add), but no change (the port files are still missing and there is only an empty package on FreeBSD ports webpage...). I remove the package, nothing. Tried with pkgdb -F, failed each attempt. Finally, the solution: manually change the +CONTENTS file from /var/db/pkg/gnome2-2.2.0/ to comment out the damn metacity-setup dependency... For the future, what would the the correct solution to troubleshot this? Thank you, /Dorin. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
