Hail, pkg_info bombs on 4.8-RELEASE: [512]->pkg_info Mesa-3.2.1_1 A graphics library similar to SGI's OpenGL ORBit-0.5.17_1 High-performance CORBA ORB with support for the C language WordNet-1.7.1 Dictionaries and thesauri with devel. libraries (C, TCL) an XFree86-4.3.0,1 X11/XFree86 core distribution (complete, using mini/meta-po XFree86-FontServer-4.3.0_2 XFree86-4 font server XFree86-Server-4.3.0_12 XFree86-4 X server and related programs XFree86-clients-4.3.0_5 XFree86-4 client programs and related files XFree86-documents-4.3.0 XFree86-4 documentation XFree86-font100dpi-4.3.0 XFree86-4 bitmap 100 dpi fonts XFree86-font75dpi-4.3.0 XFree86-4 bitmap 75 dpi fonts XFree86-fontCyrillic-4.3.0 XFree86-4 Cyrillic fonts XFree86-fontEncodings-4.3.0 XFree86-4 font encoding files XFree86-fontScalable-4.3.0 XFree86-4 scalable fonts XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_6 XFree86-4 libraries and headers Xaw3d-1.5 A 3-D Athena Widget set that looks like Motif Xft-2.1.2 A client-sided font API for X applications aalib-1.4.r5_1 An ascii art library pkg_info: read_plist: bad command '@conflicts acroread-3*' Anyone got a clue why this is happening? Should I pkg_delete acroread-3 and reinstall? I googled this one with no luck. I'm trying to resolve some nasty problem with teTeX and dvips which were working beautifully before I did a portupgrade -arR :-( I need to know exactly which versions of things are installed before removing them. I'm trying stuff like this: [514]->pkg_delete dvips pkg_delete: no such package 'dvips' installed [515]->pkg_delete dvips-5.76 pkg_delete: package 'dvips-5.76' doesn't have a prefix [516]->pkg_delete print/dvips-5.76 pkg_delete: package 'dvips-5.76' doesn't have a prefix (I'm trying to get dvips-5.92b working without error, which is why I want to remove dvips-5.76). Thanks, David.
