Hello all, After csup'ing prep for the big xorg upgrade, an old problem is plaguing me again:
--------------- # portversion -v | grep -v up-to-date Stale dependency: gimp-2.2,2 --> *** -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force. # pkgdb -F ---> Checking the package registry database Stale origin: 'x11/xorg-manpages': perhaps moved or obsoleted. -> The port 'x11/xorg-manpages' was removed on because: "X.org manual pages are now installed with every single port" -> Hint: xorg-manpages-6.9.0 is required by the following package(s): xorg-6.9.0 -> Hint: checking for overwritten files... -> No files installed by xorg-manpages-6.9.0 have been overwritten by other packages. Deinstall xorg-manpages-6.9.0 ? [no] Stale dependency: gimp-2.2,2 -> *** (code): /bin/sh:Argument list too long ***: Not in due form: <name>-<version> Install stale dependency? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes] n New dependency? (? to help): Skip this? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes] Skipped. Stale dependency: gimp-2.2,2 -> Stop (/usr/ports/graphics/gimp.): Stop: Not in due form: <name>-<version> Install stale dependency? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes] n New dependency? (? to help): Skip this? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes] Skipped. --------------- My goal is to see what projects are ready for upgrading. As such, I went with 'no' to skip the xorg-manpage change for now but then I get the concerning error from /bin/sh about the Argument list being too long. After that I don't trust that it will install the proper dependency so I opt out. pkgdb -L suffers a nearly identical fate: # pkgdb -L [...lots of 'ok's ....] /bin/sh:Argument list too long can't convert nil into String gimp-2.2,2: # I've already upgraded to portupgrade-devel (2.3.0_5) following the instructions on upgrading for xorg 7.2, to no avail. I've heard that bash handles long arg lists better than sh or csh, is there a way to force the use of bash for this? In case this helps: # uname -a FreeBSD laptop 6.2-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p3 #1: Wed Mar 28 06:19:06 PDT 2007 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LAPTOP i386 # pkg_info | wc -l pkg_info: show_file: can't open '+COMMENT' for reading 592 Other work-arounds?
