FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p10 (GENERIC) #0: Tue Feb 24 21:01:19 UTC 2015 The ports area is broken, due to what I guess was a mangled upgrade path from FreeBSD 8.x. For example, when installing cups-client, I get: pkg-static: pkgconf-0.9.7 conflicts with pkg-config-0.25_1 (installs files into the same place). Problematic file: /usr/local/bin/pkg-config *** [fake-pkg] Error code 70 It's not clear to me how to fix this. Is the simplest way to just remove (or move) /usr/ports, install it from CD, then upgrade? I have quite a few ports installed. -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer." http://www.horsfall.org/spam.html (and check the home page whilst you're there)
