We had a server that was in bad enough shape after being in production for a few years that sometimes the simple tests done during a ./configure would core-dump instead of returning. To cure the problem, we did a mass pkg_delete with the intent of reinstalling everything. This worked great and the machine is very healthy now. We do however have 1 issue that sprung up. My pkg_info is screwy. Whereas I'm used to 1 package per line, we have some that are all mushed together, as seen here: ImageMagick-5.5.6_1 Image processing tools (interactive optional--misc/display XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_5 XFree86-4 libraries and headers apache+mod_ssl-1.3.27+2.8.14 The Apache 1.3 webserver with SSL/TLS functionality aspell-0.50.3_1 Spelling checker with better suggestion logic than ispell autoconf-2.53_1 Automatically configure source code on many Un*x platformsautomake-1.5,1 GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generatorbash-2.05b.007 The GNU Bourne Again Shellbison-1.75 A parser generator from FSF, (mostly) compatible with Yacc bzip-0.21 A block-sorting file compressorcclient-2002c1_1,1 Mark Crispin's C-client mail access routinescups-base-1.1.18.0_5 The Common UNIX Printing System: headers, libs, & daemons cvsup-16.1h General network file distribution system optimized for CVS expat-1.95.6_1 XML 1.0 parser written in C fontconfig-2.2.1 An XML-based font configuration API for X Windows freetds-0.61_1 Sybase/Microsoft TDS protocol library freetype2-2.1.4_1 A free and portable TrueType font rendering engine Notice the automake being part of the prior line along with bash-2 ,et al? We have about 20 such lines. Any suggestions on how to clean this up? John Straiton Jks @ clickcom.com Clickcom, Inc 704-365-9970x101
