Well, I have done this twice now First I did `pkgdb -Ff nautilus-media`. This kicks off about 30 minutes worth of questions about dependencies, and the only way I know how to handle them is to hit return, so I did that. I then go back to the gnome-upgrade.sh -restart (name of previous log) and IT then asks me about 30 minutes worth of dependency questions, which I also answer by just hitting return. It would go faster, but I am not sure about the effect of hitting many extra returns, so I stop after each one to see if it wants another one. then it goes off for about 5 minutes, and tiwce now, it gets to a certain point in the processing of x11/gnome2, decides it MUST rebuild multimedia/nautilus-media, and fails on this. This is after a full src+ports cvsup and cvs -q up -AdP, and I even grepped for nautilus in multimedia/nautilus-media, no return. How do I prevent this from being rebuilt? There seems to be a problem in pkgdb: when I : pkgdb -aFfv -c nautilus-media | & tee errs it lists a large listing, and I have attached that here, but it also says: Stale dependency: nautilus-media-0.8.1_1 -> gstreamer-plugins-dvd-0.8.8_1 (multimedia/gstreamer-plugins-dvd): Skipped. (running in non-interactive mode; specify -i to ask) (this is one of many, but they akll refer to that -i) I have tried using the -i any many idfferent combinations, it doesn't seem to work. I have read the man page, I can't figure out how to do that I need to do. Would it be exceedingly stupid to just delete /var/db/pkg/nautilus-media-0.8.1_1 ?? I am really sorry to bug you folks, think about how much fun I'm having. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@chuckr.org | electronics, communications, and SF/Fantasy.
