The main package install proceedure continues anyway, but then eventually generates: pkg_add: could not find package foobar-version ! at the end of the package dependency installation list. Obviously, this results in failure of the entire pkg_install process. Note: src/usr.sbin/pkg_install was cvsup-ed on 30 Aug 02 and make install successfully. >How-To-Repeat: pkg_add -r a package that has dependencies for which older version(s) are already installed on the target system. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
