Now commands that access the package database, e.g. portversion, complain about stale dependencies: Stale dependency: docproj-1.10 --> docbook-241 -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force. "Fixing" these with pkgdb proves difficult. I can change all docbook-xxx dependencies to docbook-4.1, although this doesn't make sense, but dsssl-docbook-modular-1.73_1,1 is also marked as stale, no alternative is offered, and deleting it doesn't work either: Stale dependency: docproj-1.10 -> dsssl-docbook-modular-1.73_1,1: New dependency? (? to help): Delete this? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes] Failed to rewrite /var/db/pkg/docproj-1.10/+CONTENTS: failed to convert Symbol into String To restore the package database to a sane state, the docproj and sgmlformat ports must be deleted. >How-To-Repeat: Install textproc/docproj, run pkgdb -F. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
