OK, so final resolution: I reran freebsd update from the start and was still having problems. I made a couple of mistakes along the way (php55 and gcc49 seemed to be the most egregious of these) and finally got into a situation where the reasonable solution seemed to be: postmaster --list-origins (for reference) pkg_delete -a rm -r /var/db/pgk/* and just reinstall the ports I need. I’m sure I have some binaries and libraries lying around that are not referenced in any ports that are installed, but honestly I don’t think there’s that many. Just compiling mysql-client and server and apache24 covered 90% of what was needed. As it turned out, this solved quite a few little problems (like for some reason a hebrew spelling package kept getting installed). Now, of course, the next step is to move up from 8.4-RELEASE before it reaches EOL (which I think is next year in June?). Hopefully that will go a lot smother. Any recommendation on what I should move to? 9.2 is what I was thinking since I know 10 has a *lot* of changes (no more bind, for one). -- Real magic is the hand around the bandsaw, the thrown spark in the powder keg, the dimension-warp linking you straight into the heart of a star, the flaming sword that burns all the way to the pommel. --Moving Pictures _______________________________________________ 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"
