As I am getting errors like this very often since I use this method of installing ports I thought that there must be something basic what I am doing wrong. The cause of the problem happens much earlier. I used PCBSD to get FreeBSD onto the disk and did then a source upgrade. This went fine. But PCBSD installed many ports. I assumed now that after deleting them with 'pkg_delete -a' there are all gone and installation can start. Of course, pkg_delete brings some error messages that it could not delete this or that as the package list is wrong. After getting the errors mentioned here, I used to run 'make deinstall' in the affected port. This solved the problem. I wonder now what the difference between pkg_delete and make deinstall is. As I mentioned before, I am getting these errors randomly since around 2007. I obviously never used make deinstall then. I will go back now to the FreeBSD ports installation. > Part of it made it to this thread under a wrong subject line but its a > start... > > Erich _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
