Remove your /usr/src and recvsup (again). the system time is correct and i when i personally didn't install gmake, i have a very lean install. however, when i took a look at installed packages, it seems that it has been installed. when i try to remove it, I get the following error: froggie1# pkg_delete -a gmake-3.79.1_2 pkg_delete: file `/usr/X11R6/man/man1/Xserver.1.gz' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/html/Xserver.1.html' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is incorrectly specified?) wc: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/fonts.dir: open: No such file or directory [: 2: unexpected operator updating /etc/shells pkg_delete: file `/usr/local/man/man3/libpng.3.gz' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file `/usr/local/man/man3/libpngpf.3.gz' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file `/usr/local/man/man5/png.5.gz' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file `/usr/local/include/libpng/png.h' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file `/usr/local/include/libpng/pngconf.h' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file `/usr/local/lib/libpng.a' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file `/usr/local/lib/libpng.so.5' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file `/usr/local/include/libpng' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/usr/local/include/libpng' pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is incorrectly specified?) froggie1# pkg_add froggie1# pkg_add gmake-3.79.1_2 pkg_add: can't stat package file 'gmake-3.79.1_2' and now... it appears that everything is gone :/ i have no idea what i've done wrong. as for Giorgos's post. i have the following: 4.7-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 4.7-PRERELEASE #0 honestly, I don't know how i got this... i thought i would get the latest version of 4.6 becuae I have "*default tag=RELENG_4" in my cvsup file. __________________________________________________ Yahoo! - We Remember 9-11: A tribute to the more than 3,000 lives lost http://dir.remember.yahoo.com/tribute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
