X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2007 12:38:20 -0000 When I try to upgrade my ports: # portupgrade -arR I keep getting the error meessage: Stale dependency: python24-2.4.4_2 <-- evolution-data-server-1.12.1_1 -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force. So I run: # pkdb -F and all I get is: ---> Checking the package registry database before returning to the prompt, e.g. nothing happens. When I re-run portupgrade I just get the same as above in a viscious circle of frustartion. I've tried pkg_delete -f and then reinstalling, but this does not help either. portsb -Uu doesn't help either. Is there some easy way to start fresh by removing ports flotsam? Help would be greatly appreciated. -- Kiffin Gish
