--nextPart1509241.NFTC7MRkrW Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Hi, I have mplayer installed and at one stage I installed the mplayer-skins por= t=20 as well. Then I got sick of dealing with the skins port being broken a lot= =20 because the source files are often unfetchable, so I removed the port (I=20 can't remember what method I used to do that now). Ever since, when I do a portupgrade & mplayer or various ports that it is = a=20 dependency of get updated, my ports database gets upset because those ports= =20 are marked as having mplayer-skins as a stale dependency. =46or example, today I have: Stale dependency: mplayerplug-in-3.17 --> mplayer-skins-1.1.2_1 -- manually= =20 run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force. I generally either delete the dependency or link it to mplayer-gtk-esound, = but=20 the dependency comes back next time mplayerplug-in gets updated. I assume I've just used the wrong method for deleting the mplayer-skins por= t &=20 I need to re-install & delete it the correct way. If I'm right, how should = I=20 do that? If not, is there a way I can permanently remove the mplayer-skins port and = not=20 have it appear as a dependency of other ports?
