The following error message from pkg_add(1) doesn't make sense [to me]:
amelia:/var/db/pkg# pkg_add -r bash
Fetching ftp://blah/packages/Latest/mysql-client.tgz... Done.
pkg_add: package 'mysql-client-3.23.52' or its older version already
installed
amelia:/var/db/pkg# ls -d mysql-client*
mysql-client-3.23.49
Yes, that's correct: an /OLDER/ version is installed. I would like to
update to the version on the ftp server. That's why I ran pkg_add. Why
does it not update the package without the -f flag? I realize that there
is now a pkg_update command, but it lacks the ability to fetch packages --
and their dependencies -- remotely.
Would anyone like to explain this logic?
Thanks.
Eric
