How about when one is trying to update a package for which other packages depend? Example we packages: A B <==depends on A And I wanto to upgrade A Whenever I had this I had to force pkg_delete to delete the package and reinstall A. My only concern with that method is that then the dependency for B points to the wrong package. If only one package depends on another it is easy. I can delete both. The issue is with packages which may have multiple other packages depending on them. How do others handle this? francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
