It is the FreeBSD version of Adaptec's RAID management software. I want to use portupgrade to manage the other packages and ports on that same server however portupgrade gets very upset about this non-standard package and refuses to run any command: myserver# portupgrade -an ---> Session started at: Fri, 14 May 2004 12:34:27 -0600 adptfbsd_304: Not in due form: - ---> Session ended at: Fri, 14 May 2004 12:34:27 -0600 (consumed 00:00:00) I tried following the instructions in the man page by putting in a "+IGNOREME" into the package's directory (/var/db/pkg/adptfbsd_304/) but I still get the same error. How can I get portupgrade to ignore this installed package? _________________________________________________________________ Getting married?
