Hi,
(I originally posted this on the freebsd-gnome mailing list and then
realized that list was for people actively working on Gnome. I don't know
if my question is a Gnome-specific issue or if it is an issue that can arise
when installing programs in general.)
I am currently using FreeBSD 6.2 RELEASE and I am trying to install
gnome2-office via the ports collection. After running 'portsnap fetch
update' I 'make install clean' in the gnome2-office directory. It goes well
until:

...so I:
root# pkg_delete libgda2-1.2.4_1,1
pkg_delete: package 'libgda2-1.2.4_1,1' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
py25-gnome-extras-2.14.3_3
straw-0.27
gnome2-fifth-toe-2.18.3
***
...so I then try to install the new libgda separately:
root# make install clean
===> Installing for libgda3-1.9.102_3
===> libgda3-1.9.102_3 conflicts with installed package(s):
libgda2-1.2.4_1,1

Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).
*** Error code 1
I am new to the subtle inner workings of FreeBSD. Could anyone please
advise, suggest, or comment on how I should proceed? It seems that
I can't install the new libgda unless I delete the old one, but I am
prevented from deleting the old one because at least three other programs
are dependent upon it.
(As an aside, is it okay to run these installations from a terminal window
from inside the Gnome GUI environment, or should I be outside of Gnome
altogether when I do program installations/upgrades?)
Thanks,
Larry
