I haven't been completely happy with portupdate, partly because of the numerous errors portsdb reports and which don't seem to harm anything or have any solution, but I decided to install it on my other server anyway, after running it on my primary server for about six months. I installed it from the ports. cd to /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade, make clean && make, make install clean. After the installation, I tried running pkgdb -F, as usual, and got a whole bunch of dependency problems, as expected. However, pkgdb wasn't giving me the names of the packages which it said had the problems. OK, so I decided to try using pkg_version to figure out which package was installed. Aha! No pkg_version! Then I found I don't have pkg_create, pkg_add, pkg_delete, pkg_info, pkg_install, whatever. OK, I say to myself, they should be in /usr/src/usr.sbin, right? Wrong. So can anybody suggest what I can do to restore these? portupdate won't work without pkg_create, and maybe depends on some of the others as well. -- Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
