This assumes that I know where and how BDB is being used. I've discovered that I have db41 installed on a couple of systems - it's required by textproc/redland, which in turn is required by editors/libreoffice. Whilst I can avoid using libreoffice whilst I upgrade, I have no idea how it uses BDB or where the database files might be. I suspect this scenario is true for the majority of people who have BDB installed. >When, among the upgrade steps on the WIki, you have reached the point >where it is safe to upgrade the Berkeley DB and applications, there is a >helper script in Tools/scripts/BDB-upgrade-helper.sh uses portmaster or >portupgrade to rebuild the applications to use a newer Berkeley DB, and >then offer to delete the old Berkeley DB ports. Partial relative paths aren't especially helpful. This should either be an absolute path or specify a cwd (presumably /usr/ports in this case). And, for reasons I don't understand, when I run BDB-upgrade-helper.sh, portmaster wants to install both db48 and db5. --=20 Peter Jeremy --Nq2Wo0NMKNjxTN9z Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJT+R59XxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRFRUIyOTg2QzMwNjcxRTc0RTY1QzIyN0Ux NkE1OTdBMEU0QTIwQjM0AAoJEBall6Dkogs05HoP/iN1990BEzXsYxozUSUvrQM1 Ec06Vb8Ohyjj7/zfP2+8Cg9hVjvgS9HdKx85MRgX0b9AoSGqSHdLUo/KrxT7ciCx +3NWm5pxrW1sXl/q+AYfFHf8o+dOyKyR78xMSpeDithtPZFur012pHw5bLFcXX0/ tGpG+RxgGgIWWMeMAFlX/R6TllBKhlI8kGR3ISIV7l1ali+Fq3gQ+WTmI71/u1Jn 8BCVrnjkqoO3pz6O6aPAtifo6JYTQTwECC/lPPjPjxgc0DN3odYrK4GBDipQ1r5o 2umGSP6LJ81LQ9yjm7o+5bvpKQGOzHiHdAR3WDudSz/TrvSW9tlVYiNih+OjG2VW DqgcsnpB2mLgexV5JQlBPUr1UNE99Ok+2lZBJTUC+B7jhTJy4FhyY+14Cri737m4 Y+6Sgi1wRGcxgWGHRqJ0uRDD9B+spwfCxIKTWMut9b1kteBDJ7Of+0hatVB39B5k gKOnDXNOsCRnwGr0QvXcDIcxC4QllBgj/kCtPxs8sbKJZ2CzTI0ATbHCCuM8iFIa OWAIKqPt8Ce329LcoaC1dINX/Crtkfix9bTQnhVGuRWBWpS15cQNPoUOn7ysK+N8 TsOLSWSeIxxxq6G8WvAXh5wPuzeRxHcRIE6aMoAj0UJSs+VyoRJPywb1gyFp9y6H BlgQLyqXh79DSJDMqbnR =M3Hk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Nq2Wo0NMKNjxTN9z--
