Hello,
I seem to keep either finding problems in pkg or completely missing
the point of it :(
Here's another issue:
# pkg info -g 'cups*'
cups-1.7.3
cups-base-1.7.3_1
cups-client-1.7.3
cups-filters-1.0.55
cups-image-1.7.2
cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_8
Right, so my interpretation of the output above is that I have that
set of packages installed on this system. Now, I would like to
force-upgrade them all:
# pkg upgrade -f `pkg info -g 'cups*'`
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date.
Updating FreeBSD_new_xorg repository catalogue...
FreeBSD_new_xorg repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.
The following 3 packages will be affected (of 0 checked):
Installed packages to be REINSTALLED:
cups-1.7.3 [FreeBSD]
cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_8 [FreeBSD]
cups-base-1.7.3_1 [FreeBSD] (options changed)
9 MB to be downloaded.
Proceed with this action? [y/N]: y
So... what happened to the other packages? It looks like pkg is
completely ignoring 3 other packages from the original list.
Indeed, trying to upgrade just this one package missed by "pkg upgrade
above" says:
# pkg upgrade -f cups-image-1.7.2
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date.
Updating FreeBSD_new_xorg repository catalogue...
FreeBSD_new_xorg repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
Your packages are up to date.
Erm, no, this package is NOT up to date:
# pkg search cups-image
cups-image-1.7.3_1
cups-image-1.7.3_1
I presume the package is listed twice because it appears in two
repositories. (but this problem is NOT specific to
multiple-repositories issues, the same happens with e.g. p5* packages
which are present only in the official repo).
(this is pkg 1.3.7 on FreeBSD 10)
