In fact, after informing me of this fact, it then told me that "we couldn't even extract the bin distribution. This upgrade should be considered a failure and started from the beginning, sorry! The system will reboot now". That probably makes it seem more catastrophic than it actually was :-) After rebooting, removing that package, and reinstalling, I got the same thing again, but this time because of package "imake". After removing that it was OK. It seems that somewhere between 4.4 and 4.7, X moved into the package system (ah yes, I just found it in the release notes for 4.6). However it's maybe worth keeping a note in the errata or upgrade instructions, since normally I wouldn't expect the existence of any package in /usr/local to break a system upgrade. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Perhaps worth adding a note to the 4.7R errata For future, change sysinstall to be able to replace a previously installed but older version of the same package? >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
