Hi I tried to upgrade png because of a vulnerability and I had 2 different errors: 1. when trying to upgrade php 4.3.6 to 4.3.7 I had the follwing error: ---> Updating dependency info ---> Uninstallation of php4-4.3.6 started at: Thu, 15 Jul 2004 02:01:15 +0300 ---> Fixing up dependencies before creating a package ---> Backing up the old version ---> Uninstalling the old version Stale dependency: php4-4.3.6 --> apache-1.3.29_3 -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to f ix, or specify -O to force. it seems that php4 requires apache 1.3.29 and I have 1.3.31. this problem is not new, because I had it 2 weeks ago. it's not that bad because php4 doesn't have vulnerabilities (according to portaudit) right now but one could be discovered any day... 2. the second problem is that I can't "make index". when I run it, it doesn't report any error, but when trying to run "portsman" I get an error that "INDEX file seems to be corrupted or is of an unknown format". the only way to fix it is to run cvsup, but then the versions I see in portsman are old. since I'm only using FreeBSD for a month and I'm not yet familiar with how things work I'm not sure if the second problem causes the first one, does the dependencies taken from the INDEX file? how can I create an up-to-date INDEX file? any ideas? thanx -- Haim
