I'm trying to install the package of OpenOffice 2.0: bsd# pkg_add /home/oliver/OOo_SRC680_m156_FreeBSD60Intel_install_en-US.tbz pkg_add: could not find package gamin-0.1.7_1 ! Unfortunately: ===> gamin-0.1.7_2 conflicts with installed package(s): fam-2.6.9_6 They install files into the same place. Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/gamin. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/gamin. bsd# pkg_delete fam-2.6.9_6 pkg_delete: package 'fam-2.6.9_6' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled: dasher-3.2.15 eel-2.10.1_1 fileroller-2.10.4,1 gdm-2.8.0.1 gnome-menus-2.10.2_1 gnomedesktop-2.10.2 gnomegames2-2.10.2 gnomemedia2-2.10.2 gnomevfs2-2.10.1 gnomevfs2-2.12.2_2 gstreamer-plugins-gnomevfs-0.8.10_1 gtkhtml3-3.6.2 k3b-0.12.11 kde-3.5.1 ...and many more. I do not wish to lose KDE. The problem seems to be documented: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=92592 But I cannot find a workaround that works with the package. A person from the FreeBSD KDE project posted here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.devel.ports/56219 for use with the portupgrade system, and the same thread: http://freebsd.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2006-February/012137.html has something to be spliced in to pkgtools.conf. I put it in, but no joy. Is there some way to do this without having to download and install the very, very large ports version? And even if I download it, will it install? Thanks, Oliver
