Really would like it fully pkg compliant portupgrade: features since /var/db/pkg/DIRECTORIES not front-ended by sqlite3 expertise required have not worked, pkgdb -F for example IIRC All of those restored to 2006 goodness and working together seamlessly? I cannot wait. Possible with enough systemd-too-complex systems migrated to FreeBSD someday may happen... But the reason for this add-on to that topic: due to gcc gcc49 conflicts I was forced to desinstall math/ised. Now: if one will pardon xclip pasted in formatting: pkg-static install ised Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up-to-date. All repositories are up-to-date. pkg-static: hugin has a missing dependency: autopano-sift-C pkg-static: truecrypt has a missing dependency: fusefs-kmod Checking integrity... done (2 conflicting) - gcc-4.9.4 conflicts with gcc49-4.9.4_1 on /usr/local/bin/i386-portbld-freebsd11.0-c++49 - gcc-4.9.4 conflicts with gcc49-4.9.4_1 on /usr/local/bin/i386-portbld-freebsd11.0-c++49 Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting) The following 33 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked): Installed packages to be REMOVED: truecrypt-7.1a_3 gcc49-4.9.4_1 ircii-20151120 py34-setuptools_scm-1.10.1 py34-msgpack-python-0.4.7 3dm-2.11.00.021_1,1 py34-llfuse-1.0 xalarm-3.06_3 p5-PDF-Template-0.22_1 pdflib-perl-7.0.5_2 xpi-web_developer-1.2.2 pathneck-1.3 mpack-1.6_3 webcopy-0.98b7 lha-ac-1.14i_10 lv-4.51_3 window-1.0 solarized-1.0.0 freefonts-0.10_7 weedit-2.0.3 ncp-1.2.4 shorten-3.6.1 jail-primer-0.2 lynis-2.4.0 win32-codecs-20110131,1 areca-cli-i386-1.14.7.150519,1 pkg_cleanup-2.1 sscalc-1.0 New packages to be INSTALLED: ised: 2.7.1_1 gcc: 4.9.4 dejavu: 2.37 Installed packages to be REINSTALLED: pkg-1.9.4 opera-12.16_6 (options changed) Number of packages to be removed: 28 Number of packages to be installed: 3 Number of packages to be reinstalled: 2 The operation will free 103 MiB. 13 MiB to be downloaded. Proceed with this action? [y/N]: n Additionally, it does not build. Maybe on the other machine that synth runs on, I could put it on a thumbdrive and install just the ised binary... Also had to deinstall scilab, PDL, py27-game, solarwolf, etc etc. IIRC Nothing urgent at all but my thoughts on this gcc conflict issue as well as maybe chiming into the topic of this thread Sorry to waste anyone's time, may be a local issue to this particular ports tree, some errant file.
