Hello.
I've been using portmaster successfully (and exclusively) for many
years. Previously I built a 9.2-PRERELEASE machine and ports using
portmaster-3.17.1 without PKG_NG:
portmaster -bwDH --delete-build-only --no-confirm ...
Recently I decided to rebuild everything from packages after first
removing all the preset options (i.e. removing /var/db/ports/* )
and then (still using portmaster-3.17.1 without PKG_NG):
env BATCH=y portmaster -abfwDHP --packages-build \\
--delete-build-only --packages-newer --no-confirm
Because the options changed mast of the dependencies are now
messed up. For example:
# portmaster --check-depends
...
===>>> Checking alacarte-0.13.2_2
===>>> print/ghostscript9 is listed as a dependency
===>>> but there is no installed version
...
# pkg_info -Ix ghostscript
ghostscript9-nox11-9.06_4 Ghostscript 9.x PostScript interpreter
To fix this specific problem, I have separately tried using:
portmaster -o print/ghostscript9 ghostscript
and:
portmaster -o print/ghostscript9-nox11 ghostscript
In both cases, portmaster leaves an empty @pkgdep line in
/var/db/pkg/alacarte-0.13.2_2+CONTENTS just before:
@comment DEPORIGIN:print/ghostscript9
and never updates the origin to print/ghostscript9-nox11.
What am I doing wrong? Or how can I fix these broken dependencies?
This used to work fine with older versions of portmsater when the
origins shifted around. But now I have a few hundred ports which
depend upon (for example) ghostscript so I'd rather not have to
manually fix everything. Also, I don't think that running
portmaster --check-depends -y
would be a good option since that would remove all those broken
dependencies and would require me to reinstall those hundreds of
ports. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
