Last time I update ports on my latop was on Dec 20th. Everything went well. Today I grabbed the laptop again, made an update of the ports tree and try running portmaster.
The laptop is running FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE #142 r244377: Tue Dec 18 07:29:18 CET 2012. The update of pkgng is the first in line to be updated, but it fails as you can see below. I do not understand the recommendations, since I use USE_PKGNG=yes on that box without problems for a couple of weeks now. I then downloaded the new pkg-1.0.4 sources manually and did a manula update jumping into ports-mgmt/pkg; make reinstall. This worked, but leaves the record in the pkg-db still on 1.0.3, so any further portmaster attempt will end in installing the update of pkg first, which ends up in the nasty message below. I can not see this behaviour on any FreeBSD 10.0 box I have around! What is wrong here? Oliver [...] ===> Cleaning for pkg-1.0.4_1 You are about to convert your system to pkgng while you have ports/packages installed with the old pkg_install tools. You can choose to: - keep pkg_install as the package management system by adding this line to /etc/make.conf: WITHOUT_PKGNG=yes - switch to pkgng: 1) Add WITHOUT_PKGNG to /etc/make.conf 2) Install ports-mgmt/pkg 3) Convert your package database by running pkg2ng 4) Remove WITHOUT_PKGNG from /etc/make.conf *** [pre-everything] Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg. ===>>> make failed for ports-mgmt/pkg ===>>> Aborting update ===>>> Update for pkg-1.0.3_1 failed ===>>> Aborting update Terminated ===>>> You can restart from the point of failure with this command line: portmaster <flags> ports-mgmt/pkg devel/pkgconf _______________________________________________ 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"
