I have on one system: # ls /var/db/pkg apr-1.4.6.1.4.1_1 help2man-1.40.10 pkgconf-0.8.4 auditfile help2man-1.40.11 pkgconf-0.8.5 autoconf-2.69 help2man-1.40.12 pkgconf-0.8.6 automake-1.12.2 libconfuse-2.7 pkgconf-0.8.7_2 automake-1.12.3 libxml2-2.7.8_5 pkgconf-0.8.8 automake-1.12.4 local.sqlite pkgconf-0.8.9 ganglia-monitor-core-3.1.7_4 mpfr-3.1.1 python27-2.7.3_3 gcc-4.7.2.20120721 neon29-0.29.6_4 rsync-3.0.9_2 gcc-4.7.2.20120728 pcre-8.31_1 sqlite3-3.7.14 gcc-4.7.2.20120804 pkg-1.0 subversion-1.7.5 gcc-4.7.2.20120825 pkg-1.0.r4 subversion-1.7.6 gcc-4.7.2.20120908 pkg-1.0.r4_1 sudo-1.8.5.p3 gcc-4.7.3.20120929 pkg-1.0.r5_1 sudo-1.8.6.p3_1 gmake-3.82_1 pkg-1.0.r6_1 # pkg info -xo gcc-4.7 gcc-4.7.3.20120929: lang/gcc47 # I wonder why I have old versions of several ports, which no longer exist, e.g. gcc47. I update with portmaster. Does the normal update procedure remove the old version entry from /var/db/pkg if the update has been successful? Thanks Anton
