Good day,
I'm having a behavior with pkg that I don't understand after reading
maillists, man pages, etc.
I have RT4.4 installed.
I perform pkg update, pkg upgrade, and then get the following:
root@ticket:/ # pkg upgrade
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.
Checking for upgrades (8 candidates): 100%

lynx: 2.8.8.2_4,1

I'm confused by this. First, I thought that I could force the upgrade
of an individual package which I am trying to do with
p5-RT-Authen-ExternalAuth. However, this seems to want rt42. Shouldn't
it allow me to update that individual package? I know a workaround is
to just build the port and everything will be fine, however, I think
this is a bug of incorrect behavior in pkg. If not, could someone
explain this to me? Did I miss something in the docs somewhere?
Thank you,
P.
