Before deleting the old version, it does nothing to ensure that the new package can be installed. Result: you can be stuck without your old version and the new version not compiling. >How-To-Repeat: Run commands from pkg_version -c blindly (i.e. by a script) when one of the ports that it is going to update is broken. >Fix: Patch follows: *** pkg_version-old.pl Fri Nov 26 15:38:18 1999 --- pkg_version.pl Sun Dec 5 17:42:13 1999 *************** *** 293,304 **** $CommentChar, $Comment @< $CommentChar cd @<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< $packagePath ! make ! pkg_delete -f @<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< $packageNameVer make install . ; --- 293,303 ---- $CommentChar, $Comment @< $CommentChar cd @<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< $packagePath ! make && pkg_delete -f @<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< $packageNameVer make install . ; >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
