Hi
System is FreeBSD 5-STABLE with a good install of GNOME 2.8.
This morning I cvsup ports and then ran marcusmerge.sh. When I
ran portupgrade -r pkgconfig, it failed and I got the error messages that:
pkg_info: the package info for package 'gimp-gnome-2.0.6_1,1' is corrupt
pkg_info: the package info for package 'gnome-themes-2.9.2.1' is corrupt
So I cd'ed to /usr/ports/x11-themes/gnome-themes, did a make install and
got
:
===> gnome-themes-2.9.2.1 is already installed
You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of x11-themes/gnome-themes
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
I then did make deinstall && make reinstall and got:
===> Deinstalling for x11-themes/gnome-themes
pkg_info: the package info for package 'gimp-gnome-2.0.6_1,1' is corrupt
pkg_info: the package info for package 'gnome-themes-2.9.2.1' is corrupt
===> gnome-themes not installed, skipping
Any ideas on what needs to be done to get this fixed??
Thanks
Jim
