Kris Which listed packages? The output of this grep looks like: /var/db/pkg/mysql-server-4.1.20/+CONTENTS:@conflicts mysql-server-3.* /var/db/pkg/mysql-server-4.1.20/+CONTENTS:@conflicts mysql-server-4.[02-9].* /var/db/pkg/mysql-server-4.1.20/+CONTENTS:@conflicts mysql-server-5.* But i dont want to remove mysql-server-4.1.20, because this seems to be the version that is actively running on this machine, and i dont want to disable it. Same for apache+mod_ssl, which accounts for alot of the other conflicts. Also, when i try to delete one of the ports that seemed less critical, even that didnt work: ~ $ sudo pkg_delete -f jade-1.2.1_9 pkg_delete: package 'jade-1.2.1_9' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled (but I'll delete it anyway): sgmlformat-1.7_2 pkg_delete: read_plist: bad command '@conflicts sp-1.*' ~ ...and jade-1.2.1_9 is still there.
