Or, how do I fix this? The messages are telling you that when you installed the package, BSDPAN did register it into the package database, but it (obviously) has no information about where from the ports tree you installed it; e.g., if you installed DBI from the ports tree, its origin would be databases/p5-DBI. Why you're installing packages that are in the ports tree without using the ports tree is beyond me. If you want it to be updated, send-pr with a patch. > I would be interested in a fix for this as well, however. The simplest solution would be to create a port out of the module in question. It's extremely simple; a typical Perl module's port makefile fits on one 80x25 console screen, and its pkg-plist would fit on an 80x10 screen :). I've done this myself a number of times. Just remember that if you put the port in the category Makefile (e.g. databases/Makefile), any subsequent cvsup / cvs update will remove your=20 changes. --=20 I abhor a system designed for the "user", if that word is a coded pejorative meaning "stupid and unsophisticated". -- Ken Thompson - Unix is user friendly.
