I'm trying to clean up my pkgdb, so I'm going to take it one step at a time. First, is there any useful documentation on this? The man page is rather sparse on how to answer the questions that pop up. For instance, when I run: $ pkgdb -F I get the following output to start with: > ---> Checking the package registry database > Stale origin: 'multimedia/libmpeg2': perhaps moved or obsoleted. > Skip this for now? [yes] no > no > Browse CVSweb for the port's history? [no] > > Guessing... no idea. > Not in due form <category/portname>: > Fixed. (-> multimedia/libmpeg2) > Stale dependency: p5-CGI-Application-2.3 -> p5-Test-Harness-2.26 (devel/p5-Test-Harness): > p5-Test-Simple-0.47 (score:53%) ? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [no] > What does "Stale origin" mean and how do I get rid of it? What does "Stale dependency" mean and how do I get rid of it? I take it to mean in this case that p5-CGI-Application-2.3 depends on p5-Test-Harness-2.26, and the latter is missing? old? unknown? And I think it is trying to tell me that a possible replacement is p5-Test-Simple-0.47. How do I tell if it is correct? -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, a FreeBSD blog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog
