(mutt-devel port is just an example below; it happens w/ any other port in similar scenario.)
i installed mutt-devel & created a mutt-1.5.1 package. after de installing it and trying to do pkg_add, i get the following error... # pkg_add ./mutt-devel-1.5.1.tgz pkg_add: could not find package libslang-1.4.5 ! pkg_add: could not find package libiconv-1.8 ! pkg_add: could not find package gettext-0.11.2 ! pkg_add: could not find package expat-1.95.3 ! pkg_add: could not find package cyrus-sasl-1.5.27_4 ! ...though i don't have those particular ports installed, i sure do have the ports which come darn close to the list... libslang-1.4.3 libiconv-1.7.0.1 gettext-0.11.1_3 expat-1.95.2 cyrus-sasl-1.5.27_2 ...it is not easy or practical to always upgrade the installed ports whenever pkg_add fails. the only choice, if there is one, that remains is of re-building & re-installing the port. is there a way to workaround the problem w/o the rebuild/reinstall process so that pkg_add would work w/ already installed ports? - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
