Hi, Today I ran into an interesing problem while trying to run a regular portupgrade on one of my machines (8.2, AMD64): Seems like some ports depend on ghostscript8 whereas other depend on ghostscript9. Unfortunately both ghostscript variants can't coexist on the same system. To be specific: I've got ghostscript8 installed (ghostscript8-8.71_8) which is required by a bunch of ports as per "pkg_info -Rx ghostscript8". When running "pkgdb -F" it wants to install ghostscript9 since ImageMagick depens on ghostscript9: # pkgdb -F ---> Checking the package registry database Stale dependency: ImageMagick-6.7.0.10_1 -> ghostscript9-9.02_4 (print/ghostscript9): ghostscript8-8.71_8 (score:64%) ? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [no] # make search name=ImageMagick Port: ImageMagick-6.7.0.10_1 Path: /usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick ... B-deps: ... ghostscript9-9.02_4 So how do I go about it - how do I resolve these dependencies? Thanks much in advance for any clue, -ewald
