Hi, I've tried to upgrade my python 2.7 which did not work. Then I deinstalled all python stuff and tried to install python3 (aka 3.3) The system everytime refuses to install because of missing a database: pkg-static: lstat(/home2/usr/ports/lang/python33/work/stage/usr/local/lib/python3.3/lib-dynload/_dbm.so): No such file or directory *** [fake-pkg] Error code 74 [ replace python33 by python27 te get the similar error for 2.7 ] And then hints: ==== Note that some of the standard modules are provided as separate ports since they require extra dependencies: gdbm databases/py-gdbm sqlite3 databases/py-sqlite3 tkinter x11-toolkits/py-tkinter Install them as needed. ==== Which is nasty catch22, because one needs a recent/working python to actually be able to do this. How do other cope with this? --WjW
