Yes, I realize I'll have to convert. However, this forced install
doesn't convert the database so the pkg database and /var/db/pkg end up
inconsistent, and I can't tell what is really installed on all of the
packages that show a duplicated origin.
ports-mgmt/pkg should not be a dependency of any port. Are you saying
this happened? Can you identify which port?
Actually, pkg(8) being a dependency of something else is OK. It's
pkg(8) itself that should not have any dependencies.
_______________________________________________
The Makefile for net-mgmt/net-snmp contains this snippet:
# pkg-1.2 cannot handle this dependency well.
.if !defined(WITH_PKGNG)
LIB_DEPENDS= libpkg.so:${PORTSDIR}/ports-mgmt/pkg
.endif
net-snmpd uses pkg(8) to extract the list of installed packages.
To the OP: just having pkg(8) installed out of ports and sitting on your
drive will not hurt you. You have to start running it before anything
(nice or nasty) would happen.
If you don't want to switch to pkgng just yet, then don't run pkg2ng.
Similarly don't add 'WITH_PKGNG=yes' to /etc/make.conf (if you're going
to be compiling your own ports using portmaster(8) or otherwise) and
don't use pkg(8) to install any packages. Everything that is pkgng
aware should be using somewhat more sophisticated tests than just 'is
/usr/local/sbin/pkg installed' to determine if the system is pkgng-ified
or not.
Cheers,
Matthew
So doesn't that mean that the net-snmp port is doing things wrong? If
pkg *isn't* installed it's pretty safe to say that net-snmpd is not
going to be able to use pkg(8) to extract the the list of installed
packages even after listing it as a dependency & therefore installing
it, right?
Just trying to get clear on what's going on...
Thanks,
