Hi!
I just decided to take a deep breath and cvsup some fresh ports. Now,
having done that I have run 'portupgrade -ar' and constantly found it to
stop some problems.
Some ports have failed and been flagged as "configure error" or "install
error". Then I have tried to do a manual install of those ports and found
that a "make deinstall; make reinstall" have worked, just like the port
instructed me to do when it failed. I found it strange that portupgrade
didn't do that for me.
Having done that I restarted portupgrade and it would proceed a bit before
stumbling to a halt again.
Now I have reached the end of what I can fix manually, though. For some
reason portupgrade stubbornly complains that:
"** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed)
! accessibility/atk (atk-1.4.1_1) (port directory error)"
And it is correct in that there *is* no accessibility/atk port in my new
cvsup'ed ports tree. But why is it then telling me it needs it!?
Can I get the atk ports from somewhere? Is it really needed? Why has it
dissapeared and why is it still mentioned as a dependency then?
If anyone can shed some light on those matters, then I'm all ears. I can't
get a new version of Firefox to compile without atk so I'm very interested
in getting this to work.
I have run 'pkgdb -F' and tried to remove the dependecy, but have not
succeeded. I'm not even sure it would be wise to do it...
Help?
