Hi list, i use # portmanager -s|grep OLD | sort -t: -k2 occasionally to see which ports need upgrading. Ports tree is cvsup'ed each night. Today the above command seemed to take forever and also gave an error message: MGPMrTimer timeout started signal -=>14 When i hit ^C i got: ^Croot@antsrv1 [~] # pkg_delete: unexec command for 'rm -f /usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz /usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1 /usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz /usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz.gz /usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz.bz2' failed pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is incorrectly specified?) I then noticed that almost *all* X11 manpages had been deleted. :-( The portmanager manpage reads: o -s or --status status of installed ports My Question: how is it possible that this command *deletes* any ports? I am aware that there have been big changes to X11 recently, but nevertheless, something like this should not happen. Or is there anything that i have missed?
