The origibnal posting refrred to the issue as being one that came as a result of doing something similar to the OP for the thread. There was a second part (relating to getting the info on bsdpan into the DB. a. If you had read carefully you would have found that I have already tried: posting another thread b. I had already tried pkg_delete without success. c. I had tried package_deinstall again without success. d. I am totally puzzled why bsdpan-Pod_Perldoc should be showing a dependency on perl-5.8-9 when I have upgraded to 10. I will be very happy "to get on with it" when I know how to achieve that nirvana. In the meantime those who get try to get picky without reading a thread carefully do tend to offeset the work of so many people who are friendly and helpful Thanks in advance for positive contributions david
