If you pkg_delete -r that will remove every package that depends on jpeg. T= his is not the right way of just getting rid of jpeg considering it involve= s the complete almost full re-installation of the entire system manually. A better route to upgrade would be: pkg_delete -f jpeg-\* reinstall the new jpeg and then portmaster -r jpeg-\* I suppose the damage is already done to most of the systems for people that= did not already catch this.

This is just tel= ling the user to remove any packages that depended on jpeg recursively. The= re will be nothing left to upgrade if users do this as a lot of packages re= ly on jpeg. >=20 > You need rebuild the dependent ports without old jpeg being installed. > =20 > > Maybe a portupgrade -fr or portmaster -r would be more appropriate. >=20 > maybe, I don't use this tools, so I can not tell. I do. And I know how much of a pain it is to manually replace over 800 pack= ages is by hand. >=20 > Gru=DF Dirk >=20 > - Dirk Meyer, Im Grund 4, 34317 Habichtswald, Germany > - [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org],[dirk.meyer@guug.de],[dinoex@FreeBSD.org] > http://people.freebsd.org/~dinoex/errorlogs/ --=20 Jason J.
