It appears the update process is trying to upgrade pkg all the time --
when I interrupt the process, I see a lot of the following:
===>>> pkg-message for pkg-1.2.7_2
If you are upgrading from the old package format, first run:
# pkg2ng
but I upgraded to pkg months ago
Am I correct in assuming that message shows up regardless whenever pkg
is built?
Then all those are followed by:
===>>> The following actions were performed:
Re-installation of pkg-1.2.7_2
Re-installation of libiconv-1.14_3
Upgrade of gettext-0.18.3.1 to gettext-0.18.3.1_1
Re-installation of gmake-3.82_1
Re-installation of db5-5.3.28
Re-installation of pkg-1.2.7_2
Re-installation of libiconv-1.14_3
Re-installation of pkg-1.2.7_2
Re-installation of pkg-1.2.7_2
Re-installation of libiconv-1.14_3
Re-installation of gettext-0.18.3.1_1
Re-installation of pkg-1.2.7_2
Re-installation of libiconv-1.14_3
Re-installation of pkg-1.2.7_2
Re-installation of libiconv-1.14_3
Re-installation of pkg-1.2.7_2
Re-installation of pkg-1.2.7_2
...
Why all the multiple installations of pkg, libiconv, etc.?
I thought portmaster was smart enough to not rebuild multiple times.
Is there a way to get around this? It's obviously wasting a
huge amount of resources.
thanks,
Gary
