Too late now. My db was probably problematic to start with I have not tried portmaster with pkgdb yet but I understand recent versions of it support pkgng[/quote] - That's the point! pkgng broke my portmaster (and everyone else's) and now I resort to slogging through stuff. - I am planning on trying poudriere, installed it but have not gotten around to setting it up. Plus I want a web interface using lighttpd and I have to fiddle the instructions for jenkins to make it work. When I do set it up I can do a complete re-install. I did want an up-to-date system until I got around to it though. I haven't used portupgrade in a few years, and I want to avoid going back to dealing with it's database issues[/quote] My sentiments exactly, but I am under the impression that pkgng and portupgrade use the same sqlite pkg database (*pkgdb* is a portupgrade feature) to track the installed packages, while portmaster is not quite yet integrated into that sqlite db. Thanks for the suggestions, I have to urgently migrate to poudriere it seems :( -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/pkgng-woes-tp5759489p5759519.html Sent from the freebsd-ports mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
