>Number: 131439 >Category: ports >Synopsis: inconsistencies on PACKAGESITEs >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-ports-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Fri Feb 06 00:20:03 UTC 2009 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Hannes Hauswedell >Release: irrelevant >Organization: >Environment: irrelevant >Description: The Packagesites contain an inconsistant set of packages, or more precise: All/ and Latest/ get updated faster than the "real" categories and the INDEX-file. This in itself wouldnt be a problem, but the files referred to in INDEX and by symlinks from other categories are removed from All/. Software using the INDEX like KPorts, a work-in-progress pkg_upgrade-script for binary-only upgrades, possibly other software, as well as users looking in the categories get unresolvable Packages and dependencies... Thanks for your help! >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Either: -update symlinks in the categories and the INDEX-file with every update to All/ or: - at least keep all files while they are referred to by symlinks or INDEX. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
